What if the Mongol Invasions Never Happened?

[heloo]

Its honestly kinda mind blowing that if some random Mongolian kid got killed by a wolf 800yrs ago the entire world would have been completly different

"Genghis unified china and it stayed unified ever since" weird warlord noises in 1936

In other news: the people of Baghdad are having the time of their lives.

Baghdad and the lost books of the Baghdad house of wisdom would've been spared :(

“ Highly regularized and unimaginative way of getting into the elite” oh boy I’ve never seen that!

[stormblader]

So basically 40 million people wouldn’t lose their lives to 5000 Mongolians Chasing after them with horses and bows and Baghdad would Still survive

5:42 “I have no idea if that would happen so I chose to ignore it”

You have summed up all the problems with modern society.

There's one revolutionary change you left out - Crash Course World History loses its archetypal exception and the world of history suffers from this loss.

It's so weird that a war 800 years ago ended up being more deadly then ww1

16 million people after watching this: Mr. Stark I don't feel so good

Gengis Khan was an hacker of life, and as every hacker, he ruined the game for everyone.

Actually Tamerlane was not related to ghengis khan, He even installed a puppet ruler that was related to khan. he actually Married a descendant which is why Babur is a descendant of khan.

As a russian, this period of time hurts me on some genetical level. Like the huge amount of culture was just erased, gone, thanks to the Mongol invasion
:c

[imretardedbut]

Russia to mongolia today,
*Look how the tables turned*

[AmberCommentsThings]

I guess Genghis Khan wouldn't have been cancelled on Twitter months ago

I think you should redo your what if Napoleon won timeline. That one is quite old and it would be interesting if you were to redo it now.

Given the flirtation that the Northern Song dynasty had with industrialization, it could be possible that China could be the source of many technologies that are associated with the West. Food for thought

[agentorange]

Everybody gangsta till Mongolia starts claiming land on historical basis.

[kuroazrem]

I think the Song would have modernized since they were not really Confucian but Taoist, who are more open-minded.
