While Jewish children (or the friends and family of Jewish children lucky enough to score an invitation to Bubbe and Zeyde’s Seder) hear the Passover story every year from the Haggadah over the course of the holiday meal, it’s still fun to see that story - or those holiday traditions - reflected back in pop culture from time to time. ![]() There aren’t a ton, and most of them aren’t exactly geared towards kids, but they exist! which we’ve done so you don’t have to!

If an enemy refused to submit, the Mongols would employ a strategy of total war with Mongol leaders ordering the collective slaughter of populations and the destruction of property. David Nicole notes in The Mongol Warlords that "terror and mass extermination of anyone opposing them was a well-tested Mongol tactic". If the enemy offered any resistance, what followed was massive destruction, terror and death. In return, the Khan would guarantee their protection, but only if those who submitted to Mongol rule were obedient. These enemies would then become vassals by sending tribute, accepting Mongol residents, and/or contributing troops. To avoid war, Genghis Khan and his generals preferred to offer their enemies a chance to surrender without resistance.
