Which best explains how the mongols under genghis khan were able to establish and maintain a large empire? a. they used diplomats to convince neighboring nations to become allies with them. b. they were skilled horsemen who adopted new military technologies and used terror as a weapon. c. they invented the cannon and the catapult, which allowed them to lay siege to enemy cities d. they created huge armies that used chariots and then divided conquered territories into provinces

The correct answer is  B. They were skilled horsemen who adopted new military technologies and used terror as a weapon.

The Mongols were a warrior people where all free men trained for war from young and with a tradition of very powerful and very old riders. This, together with the radical reforms introduced by Genghis Khan in the organization of the army (division of the army into groups of 10,000, 1,000, 100 and 10 men), the employment of an important network of messengers to send their orders, the establishment of logistics commissioners to supply refreshment horses and equipment, and of course the formation of his personal guard - composed largely of his children and other relatives - had a key role in the entire history of the Mongol Empire. The army was composed almost exclusively of cavalry, although later also it would have a body of engineers to carry out the sieges. The bow was the most effective and feared weapon of the Mongols. It was a small bow, easy to use while walking fast on horseback, and very tense.

A prominent aspect of the figure of Genghis Khan is his use of psychological warfare and the establishment of a regime of terror in many of the conquered territories. In some cases, the Mongols executed massive massacres among the population of the conquered cities, and exhibited the results of these to spread panic among the inhabitants of other territories. Genghis Khan used to throw the corpses of the victims of the terrible bubonic plague by catapults in the enemy cities under siege; thus giving rise to the first biological weapons.

Option: B. They were skilled horsemen who adopted new military technologies and used terror as a weapon.
