Mongol-Turkic invasions were arguably the most significant event in world history in the second millennium of the common era, and it was mainly because of the use of certain animals tied to geography.
In his book "The Revenge Of Geography," Robert D. Kaplan asserts that the Mongol-Turkic invasions played a crucial role in shaping world history during the second millennium CE. He highlights how geographic factors and the use of certain animals were instrumental to these invasions, demonstrating the profound influence of geography on historical events.
Kaplan's analysis suggests that the interplay between the environment and military capabilities had far-reaching effects, influencing not just warfare but also the broader development of civilizations. The strategic advantages provided by certain animals in these invasions underscore the importance of geographic context in understanding historical narratives.
