"Attempted genocide"??? My guy, Tanguts don't exist anymore, that wasn't "attempted" genocide it was successful genocide.

[frogglen]

What's crazy is that people justify what he did because "he had a bad childhood" or "it was part of the times".

[nenenindonu]

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary and big daddy Chinggis where the Tanguts and Khitans went

Germans: “I’m sorry for what my ancestors did”
Mongolians: *Genghis Khan statue with intense throat singing*

[ZenithLOLLOL]

It's hilarious because you can see statues of him built in Mongolia, i'm pretty sure the people know what he did and they dont give a fuck.

It's fascinating to consider how Genghis Khan, despite his brutal tactics, shaped history on a scale few others ever have. His actions weren't just about conquest—they were statements of power, dominance, and the erasure of any who opposed him. While modern ethics rightly reject his cruelty, it's impossible to ignore how his psychological warfare extended beyond the battlefield. Whether executing entire cities or erasing entire cultures like the Tanguts, his legacy forces us to confront the uncomfortable truth that history's most influential figures are often its most ruthless. He didn’t just fight wars—he rewrote the rules of survival itself.

As History lover you learnt this one from McDonald's,

The *Genghis* is title not a name

1) His father was poisoned by enemy, also captured and held by the Taichiud when, after his family was abandoned by their clan. He was enslaved and kept in a wooden collar to prevent his escape. Temujin endured this captivity for year

2) Temujin *real name* also he just didn't kill Begter something like that Begter and Belgutei were bullied threatened to kill him and had been keep taking his gain so he trapped him and killed him

3) He left artist archilogist and
philosophist on purpose

4) Only last Tangut was right,
He just didn't kill them like that purpose that was on mission from his great elders, Tangut made lots of conflict and war
between nomadic tribes centuries

Example: Ambgai khagan said : "Until my ten fingers are worn away and my nails are gone, do not let my suffering be in vain. Avenge my death."

Sources: *Secret history of Mongols*, *Jami' al-tawarikh*

[ricardorivas]

forgot to add the part where the soldiers who buried him also killed any animal close by

What I find intriguing about history is that no matter how fascinating you find a certain culture o period, you will always find enough reasons to equally resent them.
The mongols are different. The total disregard of human life is just shocking and revolting, nothing more.

0:10 what are talking about, he’s the most loving and sweet caring person in the world

[checkcheck]

Congrats on 100K. Been here since the low 10s and I’m still having a blast.

Keep up the hard work.

[mnemonichotpocket]

Stg he said "Chingus Khan" the first time he says his name at the beginning

[shinneneguns]

Remember Monsters attract other monsters, so although we remember Gengis there are countless nameless monsters who supported him

I think it's so strange that People admire and look up to this Guy, but vilify WW2's leader (as he should be vilified!)- Genghis was ruthless, and we only have old Stories. What about all the stuff that nobody ever wrote down or was forgotten? He live decently long life for the time and he wasn't just idle between the things we know about. This guy was one of the worst genociders in History. This applies to a lot of Historical figures that many respect. I guess with WW2 it was recent History using recognizable tech- guns and bombs and all that but man- all they had were swords/spears/arrows- close range things- they did this up close and Personal with a lot more blood/gore- not the pull of a trigger and an enemy falling down far away from your normal reach.

Genghis was nuts and it all fell apart when he died but that's most Empires, the ones we remember burned bright, but didn't last- accept for Rome, they're the exception to this sort of 'rule'.

Nice video, Sub earned :D

[StroeyBro]

If Inalchuq wasnt completely paranoid, then the whole empire could’ve stayed up for much longer than it did

[historyViewer]

Genghis Khan wasn’t just a conqueror; he was a force of nature. Some of the tactics he used might seem brutal, but they were part of the strategies that made the Mongol Empire unstoppable. It's fascinating how history remembers both the horrors and the brilliance of his campaigns. This video really shows how complex his legacy

[Not_thatjemu]

Genghis is the first and oldest example of a YN

[grsebll]

I might be incompetent but I feel like him pronouncing Genghis Khan “jangus” instead of “gangus” is engagement and I’m 100% for it lol!

[simpalorion]

Crazy to think how many people would be around today if this man didn’t exist

[EnkeEnkhtsogt]

Begter was not Temujins moms favorite(he is not even her son wtf), he was a son of Yesukhei's second wife and was older than Temujin. It is theorized that Begter was trying to head the household and also scheming to marry Temujins mother! as brutal as he was, Temujin was sharp. he lost his father and he aint losin his mother too.
