The Mongol Empire

Question 6 • FL-2109010-M/J World History B

How did Genghis Khan use technology to expand the Mongol Empire?

Answer
A
He used new rifles that could be fired from horseback.
B
He used advanced ships to attack coastal cities from the sea.
C
He used catapults, battering rams, and explosives in siege warfare.
D
He used steel to create new armor, guns, and swords for his soldiers.

Explanation

The Mongols were highly mobile, but they also adopted and used siege technology to capture fortified cities. Catapults, battering rams, and explosives helped them breach walls and attack defenses. Rifles and guns were not part of Genghis Khan’s military technology, and advanced ships were not the key technology used to expand the empire.
