Ignoring all the horrible stuff that came along with it, Genghis Khan is one of the most spectacular lives in history. He literally came out of nowhere and took over half the world. Being alive at that time and just trying to wrap your head around the massive shift in power that happened must have been insane.

Amazing how the Mongol Empire originate from an illiterate man who was once a slave. The stats were stacked against him - and yet his legacy would be one of the largest land empires in history!

Ilkhanate was always interesting to me. its such a weird mashup of the east asian and Iranian/Arabic/Turkish cultures.

[kekero]

If anything needs to become a movie it’s this.

[aminedaoud]

the mongols came close to world domination

[briangarrow]

He was possibly the greatest military leader in all of human history. He started out as a poor nomad with almost nothing and ended up ruling an empire that covered an incredible amount of land.

[fnmag]

Genghis Khan was one of the greatest warriors that ever lived on the earth yet he was one of the greatest Statesmen very wise and really enjoyed peace and had a forgiving heart until he was pushed too far then there was no hope for his enemy

I think you should mention the failed invasions of Vietnam, the Japanese was minor compared whit what the Vietnamese inflicted.

[Kariakas]

These are great, concise intros for these historical periods. You do a great job.

[ӨлзийбаатарИ]

Thank you for telling our great history！Chinggis Khan will bless you！

[definedsir]

Timurid empire history lesson would be great. It's sadly not mentioned that much. Given how Timur was affective in the day.

[reubena]

I fucking love Mongol history. Thank you for working on it with your illustrations and clarity.

I love Genghis Khan. He is the only great hero I can think of who didn't have a head start of some kind. He didn't start with connections to the elites, he wasn't carried by a noble family, he didn't marry into power, he didn't inherit a ton of money and buy his kingdom, in general he didn't start with ANY unfair advantages. Everything, and I mean everything, that he acquired he had to earn.

Suffice to say, every single great leader you can name had some kind of unearned, unfair advantage EXCEPT Genghis Khan (with, maybe, ten exceptions at most). Far as I'm concerned, he's the only true rags to riches story. He gives me hope. He earned his position through merit and not by cheating.

The reason this matters to me is because I'm severely impoverished. Not nearly as much as him, but I'm in such a position that if I were arrested and put in prison I'd consider that an upgrade. None of the other possible heroes I could have are relatable at all as none of the ones I can think of are in my position, except for Genghis Khan who had it worse.







TL;DR: Assuming the stories are true, Genghis Khan is my hero above all other important leaders for one crucial reason. He earned his power himself through work and grit and not through connections or inherited wealth. I admire that.

[IronDragon-]

Ghangis Khan and the Mongols always fascinated me.

[FlyGuy]

I like how his father named him after a captured warrior, that is really cool.
