What religion did the mongols practice?

Answer 1

A:Genghis Khan rose to power supported by the chief of the Kerais tribe, centred in the Karakorum region of present-day Mongolia. He took as a wife a princess of the Kerais, who had been Christian since at least the early eleventh century. Other Mongol tribes were.also Christian or predominantly Christian. Thus, when Genghis Khan unified the Mongol tribes and burst out of Mongolia to conquer much of the world, a good proportion of his army was Christian, including many of his commanders.

It was Mongol policy to build on local traditions once they had subjugated an area, so by the end of the thirteenth century and the beginning of the fourteenth, the Mongol empires had converted to Islam, although not in China. Buddhism was eventually to return to Mongolia from China.

In 1295 Mahmud Ghazan persecuted Christianity and Buddhism, and his successors followed his policies. Particularly severe was Ghazan's brother and heir, Oljeitu (1304-16). Originally baptised a Christian under the name Nicholas, he now became a fervent Muslim, taking the name Muhammad.
