I know the first thing people would say the Mongolians lost the Battle of Ain Jalut. Well, if you studied history, the Great Khan Mongke died which means Hulagu had to return back to Mongolia along with majority of the army. After the Mongolians came back they defeated the Turkish empire who at that time was the strongest Muslim empire. You may think I'm trying to boost Genghis Khan, but I'm not, I'm just pointing out that there might be some asian family with who might be descendants. After reading that, what is your overall opinion on Genghis Khan and the Mongolian empire? Do you what he did to those women is acceptable? |

There is a general rule of thumb whe it comes to civilisations: all civilisations identified as empires most often were forged, maintained and often both through bloodshed and mass slavery and other acts which we would now call crimes against humanity. But the Mongolians are just as much a product of their environment as they were of Genghis' leadership. The steppes are a brutal place to live compared to the river valleys most other civilisations began in. It is possible (if unlikely) that the historical record of Mongolians would have changed if their native land was more hospitable. At least, that is my opinion. When you have little in valuable resources, you will often find other places to get them and simply taking by force can be easy when you build a reputation of destruction. Blackbeard is proof of that just as much as Genghis Khan himself. |

I understand alot of their actions were results from their time period, most empires had emperors behaving badly. I still don't think its no excuse though, this guy forced alot of women to have sex, ALOT enough for today for people to research they might be related to him through blood. |
