In their prime, was there anything the Mongolians couldn't take on?

owning an empire
A bath.
glorious nippon and the mamluks
two typhoons
not raping everything that moves
France
Egyptian slaves
Slavs
I'm starting to see a pattern here
>Mongols couldn't take on slavs
Lmfao user.
You are right about the Mamluks though. The answer to OP's question would be roughly something along of the lines of: 'somewhere a large amount of light cavalry isn't effective or easily countered'.
Japan
They were the Mongols not Mongolians
Same thing
...
Yeah the Hungarians. Despite what anyone says we made them turn back.
They're not the same thing
Mongols are this particular historical group
Mongolians are the modern inhabitants of Mongolia
Haha
Maritime states. The Mongols tried to invade Japan twice but were unable to make headway. The 2nd invasion was foiled by typhoons, but the 1st one actually made a landing, but the Japanese resisted fiercely.
The lesser-known expedition to Java was also a critical failure. The Mongols were known to utilize ships and troops transports in the brutal and grinding war against the Song, but those were primarily in conjunction with river and coastal operations. In open-sea, the Mongols failed to project their power effectively.
Also, the Mongols could never conquer and subjugate the whole of India. The drier northwestern regions suited horses and composite bows fine, but once they entered the more humid regions, their bows fell apart and the horses were starving for want of forage. India has been traditionally known for having shitty pasturage for horses.
Nah you're wrong
>made them turn back
Die in nearly every battle with a servers outnumbered and overstretched enemy and only win one 'draw' and proceed to hide in castles till they left off their own accord

>In their prime, was there anything the Mongolians couldn't take on?
European-built stone fortifications.
Poland, Hungary, Vietnam, Serbia, Java, Japan, Egypt, India, etc.

>left of their own accord
Because they said so.
A sizable body of water
European forts.

Javans.
The Land of the Rising Sun

That's explained why they never have strong cavalry units?
