Women in these societies also offered women higher status and fewer restrictions and they were in important roles like political advisors.
    Turkic people not only become Muslims but they also brought Islam to different locations and they planted Islam in that ancient civilizations. The Mongol Empire was the largest land-based empire exempting a good amount of land, but the empire was divided into four khanates. But in the twelfth century, the Mongols were unstable there were a lot of feuds between them. The Mongols were best known for their military victories, but the Japanese fierce samurai defeated this invasion of the Japanese mainland. Striking fast like thunder, they halted the Mongol forces and during ww2 when Allied forces were planning to get close to Japan, “Kamikaze” pilots were in full effect causing damaged and they were going to stop any invasion just like they did years ago.
    When the Mongols invaded Russia, they slaughter those who opposed them with their new technologies like catapults. But they plague also killed many like the one in Egypt.
