Essay ~ Introduction


If one were to look at a map of Asia, they would notice that Mongolia; a small country in the center of Asia, is bordered by two great countries, Russia and China.
One would then wonder how this small country of Mongolia invaded a country of such a great landmass; China.
A significant question that can be asked is; why did the Mongolians invade China, and what weaponry was used in the battle?
In order to answer this question a primary source by Friar John of Plano Carpini, has been used which describes the war in his own account; along with information from many different websites.
