The Mongol influence on military history is profound and far-reaching, and it is visible in the major military traditions of the modern world. The Mongols developed a sophisticated military tradition, and the tradition was a major factor in the development of the modern military. The most important of the military legacies was the development of the decimal military organization, the horse archers, the feigned retreat, the siege warfare, and the psychological warfare that were widely adopted by the successor states and by the later military traditions.
