Welcome to our channel! In this video, we delve into a lesser-known aspect of the mighty Mongol Empire: the use of slaves. While the Mongols are often celebrated for their conquests and military strategies, their empire was also deeply intertwined with the practice of slavery. Join us as we explore how slaves were captured, their roles in society, and the impact of slavery on the Mongol economy and culture. We'll start with the rise of the Mongol Empire, setting the stage for understanding how slavery became integrated into their expansionist agenda. You'll learn about the various methods the Mongols used to capture slaves during their conquests, including the strategic targeting of populations and the aftermath of battles. The roles of slaves were diverse, ranging from laborers and domestic servants to skilled craftsmen and soldiers. We'll delve into the daily lives of these individuals and how they were treated within Mongol society. Additionally, we'll examine how slavery supported the Mongol economy, contributing significantly to the empire's vast wealth and ability to sustain prolonged campaigns. The cultural and social implications of slavery within the Mongol Empire will be highlighted, showing how it influenced both Mongol society and the lives of the enslaved. Finally, we'll discuss the decline of slavery as the Mongol Empire fragmented and fell, marking the end of an era.
