Genghis Khan

I would love to have dinner with Ashoka and Genghis Khan. They were both passionate leaders in their countries. Although they have different heritage backgrounds I believe they were great leaders. I think those two would enjoy eating dinner with one another. Genghis might have told Ashoka that he liked how he brought a new religion to India. Ashoka would have told Khan that he admired his loyalty to his people. I would choose them not only for their great leadership skills but also for their…

John Boyd Orr a famous doctor, biologist and politician explains, “In the last five or six thousand years, empires one after another have arisen, waxed powerful by wars of conquest, and fallen by internal revolution or attack from without”. This phrase links the common and reoccurring rise/ downfall of ancient cultures and civilisations. Worldwide, historians agree that the ancient Mongolians like many civilisations, revolutionised and contributed significantly to the contemporary world.…

With the help of Genghis Khan, he also created/retooled the weapons they used during their campaigns, and the use of animals for transportation and war. The horses that the Mongolian Empire used were small, but they were semi-equipped with armor and mainly used for infantry. The horses also helped them move quicker and run long distances so they can move faster during war and transportation. As well they’re nearly impossible to stop when in a pack. The usage of their bows helped them do a lot of…

Temuchin was born in 1167 on the Mongolian plains and in 1206 he won the leadership of the group and then was given the name Genghis Khan and he began to grow larger.

He also said in battle if anyone ran away from war then the whole group would get executed or if a couple of people were the only ones to attack then everyone…

He unified the tribes and after doing so was elected Genghis Khan, or “Universal Ruler”. Timuchin expanded the land Mongolians inhabited by conquering large armies with his smaller army of one hundred and twenty thousand men. As a result, the Mongolian Empire has become one of the largest empires in human…

Before they were known for creating the largest land empire in history, the Mongols were pastoral nomads who relied on their animals for survival. The Mongols moved several times a year in search of food and water for their herds. The Mongol lifestyle and continual migrations prevented them from transporting reserves of food and supplies. This made them extremely vulnerable to the environment. During the 13th century is when the Mongol Conquests took place. This resulted in the extensive Mongol…
