Why were the Mongols able to fight Europe?

There is no reason for the strength of the Mongols in the thirteenth century, except that Genghis Khan and his descendants were favored by the Immortal Heaven.

The reasons for this are:

1. The Mongols originated from the Mongolian Plateau, and the focus of their business has always been in East Asia. Therefore, although the Mongol army was strong in battle, its western expeditionary army was only a branch force after all, and it was very inferior in numbers, resulting in the lack of stamina of the Mongolian western expeditionary army.

Furthermore, the Mongol headquarters at that time (Mongol Yuan.

has not yet been able to capture the Southern Song Dynasty.

Nor can they fully support the westward crusade. And to Kublai Khan.

After seizing the throne, the Mongol vassal princes had already broken away from the rule of the Mongol blind tribe and had their own spheres of influence, which made the Mongol expedition to the west even more isolated.

2. The Mongol Western Expeditionary Army has reached the end of the crossbow in Central Europe, and although it has made gains, it has also suffered heavy losses. The Mongol army marched westward with limited troops, although it was invincible all the way, but losses were inevitable, and it was deep into the belly of Europe, caught in the quagmire of resistance of European countries, and could not be replenished by strength. As a result, the Mongol expeditionary forces were no longer able to advance westward.

3. Compared with the relatively backward Eastern Europe.

region, Central Europe, Western Europe everywhere more castles, more difficult to conquer. The Mongols, on the other hand, were nomadic and were good for field warfare rather than fortified cities. However, the fortified fortresses and castles in Central and Western Europe were numerous and invincible, which caused headaches for the Mongol expeditionary army to the west.

Endlessly. 4. The feudal state of the European countries made their own forces scattered, and it was not conducive to concentrating their forces to resist the Mongol expedition to the west. But there were relatively well-established leadership centers everywhere, so being able to fight on their own made it more difficult for Europe to be conquered.

In the Middle Ages, there were Western scholars who compared France.

feudal form) with the Ottoman Empire.

Totalitarian Monarchy) is politically superior or inferior? In the end, it was concluded that it was easier to defeat France, but it was difficult to conquer France. And it was difficult to defeat the Ottoman Empire. But conquering it is easy.

5. Although a highly centralized state can concentrate its forces to resist a strong enemy, once its leadership center is hit hard, it is easy to paralyze the whole country, and it is difficult to organize a force of resistance with or without divine effect.

And feudalism. However, even if the leading center suffers a heavy blow, it can still organize effective resistance forces at the local level. This is also the reason why in the history of our country, once the "imperial capital" is conquered by the enemy, it basically means "changing the dynasty".

This is not the case in the West at all, and sometimes the defeat of its "leading center" will make the problem worse. This meant that the Mongols could not rule Europe directly, but had to find "** people" to rule indirectly (e.g., Muscovy).

That is, the Mongols in the Rus' region).

The feudal state of Europe made it difficult for the Mongols to conquer Europe. The rule of the "** people" has made the old social ruling structure in various parts of Europe (Rus' countries) well preserved, which can not only fundamentally inhibit the integration of the Mongol forces with the local forces in Europe, but also gradually become the fierce enemies of the Mongols. Therefore, the Mongol expeditionary army to the west stopped in Eastern Europe.
