Marco Polo Journal Entry #1: Good things about mongols
I have been with the Mongols for a while. We have they spread religion throughout Asia. When we traveled all over the country they would spread many different religions. Everytime we went to different cities they would pick up and leave new ideas. We would also pick up part of that cities culture. Another thing the Mongols care about the peasant because they made 50 houses. The peasants were looked after by one supervisor. That is just one story of the many of the Mongols being nice to their peasants. We went to the capital and it was the fanciest place I have ever been to. They even used paper money. It was a really good experience. I wish I could go back.
Marco Polo Journal Entry #2: Bad things about mongols
The Mongols had their good moments and their bad. One of the bad thing the Mongols have done while I have been with them is they have destroyed many cities when they did not open their gates. When they would invade cities, they would kill and harm people in many cruel ways. They would suffocate them by throwing heavy objects on them. I didn’t like when they would hurt the natives to the land they took over. I tried to stop them when I could.
Historian View:
The Mongols were harsh people at times, but also helped Asia. They tore the cities down when they had to but they did spread religions throughout Asia. The main religion they would spread was Buddism. Eve though the Mongols were bad most of the time they did help a lot in building Asia’s culture.
