Genghis Khan's upbringing in the nomadic lifestyle of the Mongolian steppes allowed him to develop a unique perspective on warfare and leadership. As a young man, he honed his skills in navigating the complex social dynamics of nomadic tribes. Through a series of military campaigns, Genghis Khan demonstrated his ability to unite several tribes under his command, forming a powerful military.

What's more, he was able to confidently say that the Mongols were religiously tolerant, coming from a Christian priest. This makes it all the more believable since Fr.

Despite the significant impact already seen in Afro Eurasia, conquest and destruction played a major role in this change. The Mongols were able to kill lots of people with the help of a strong army (Doc 6). Not only that, but the Mongolian military was also able to take over the Abbasid empire (Doc 7). Through all this bloodshed, the Mongols were able to complete their goal: control
