Do you agree that it was only reasonable that the Mongols conquered Khwarezmia after the mongol ambassador was killed?
Yes. Harming the ambassador is a war deceleration.
Killing a man, or a small group of ambassadors justifies genocide (in case of Kwarezm), or taking down an entire empire/civilisation (in case of Byzantium), even hundreds of years later?
Interesting perspective.
