    so if is not cause they religion why did they convert?
    i mean if you attack somebody and take their capital you suppose to convert them to your side but it happen to be oposite .
    also talking about begging mongols to stop didnt pope beg atilla to stop attacking romans?

    yes there some mongols that converted,but that doesn't make them a muslim state. they had employed and took advice from other muslim, but they were still their own empire. the muslims who weren't under mongol rule live in fear of the mongols. the only places where there would have been any converting to Islam would have only been in the Golden Horde which only a small part of the mongol empire, and the conversion would have been slow and gradually, not right away. the rest of the empire kept there believe in shamanism.
    as for Attila, there are no actual proof that he was Mongolian. he came from the Asian steppes 600 years before the mongols even came to power.

    Acctually the Mongols did convert to Islam, we even have the story in the Novgorod Chronicals if you want to check it out.

    like i said in a previous post, there are mongols that converted to Islam, but the mongol empire was broken up into different states ruled by different khans and the only state that had converted were the Golden Horde which was largely in Russia where the Novgorod Chronicles were based around. even then Novgorod can hardly be considered a source because even though it mentions the mongols, it focus more on russia and doesn't mention much on mongol religion.
    you can't let a separate group of mongols speak for all of the mongols.

    Actually Germanic's (Armenians and others) were wiped by Rome eventually along with others like the Danics.

    Title might be better said as "Campaigns and/or Alliances.

    Of the greatest of these is the Hellenistic (Greeks).
    I have other things to do, why am I here again?

    I don't know what history you are reading, but the Romans never took Germania, but they did take the Greeks so I'm confused by what your post means

    I like Parthia and The visigoths (cause the raided Rome right after the pax Romana ended with Marcus Aurelius death)

    Guys the past few posts have the wrong time period. This is AFTER Rome fell, not during its decline.
