Why were the Mongols so effective?

„The Mongol Empire of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries was the largest continuous land empire that has so far existed. At its greatest extent it stretched from Korea to Hungary, including, except for India and the south-east of the continent, most of Asia, as well as a good deal of eastern Europe. As a whole it lasted for well over a century, and parts of it survived for very much longer.” (Morgan, David: The Mongols. Second Edition. Blackwell Publishing: Malden, MA, USA, 2007, p. 5) Hence, the question is how and why were they so effective in both military and political affairs?
