    Ignoring all the horrible stuff that came along with it, Genghis Khan is one of the most spectacular lives in history. He literally came out of nowhere and took over half the world. Being alive at that time and just trying to wrap your head around the massive shift in power that happened must have been insane.

      One correction from what I read Jamuqai did not help Genghis kill his older brother. This happened when Genghis his mom and his brothers were left on their own to wander. The dispute was over not sharing of food with the family, Genghis and his younger brothers shot him with arrows. Jamuqai came on the scene later.

    I love Genghis Khan. He is the only great hero I can think of who didn't have a head start of some kind. He didn't start with connections to the elites, he wasn't carried by a noble family, he didn't marry into power, he didn't inherit a ton of money and buy his kingdom, in general he didn't start with ANY unfair advantages. Everything, and I mean everything, that he acquired he had to earn.
    Suffice to say, every single great leader you can name had some kind of unearned, unfair advantage EXCEPT Genghis Khan (with, maybe, ten exceptions at most). Far as I'm concerned, he's the only true rags to riches story. He gives me hope. He earned his position through merit and not by cheating.
    The reason this matters to me is because I'm severely impoverished. Not nearly as much as him, but I'm in such a position that if I were arrested and put in prison I'd consider that an upgrade. None of the other possible heroes I could have are relatable at all as none of the ones I can think of are in my position, except for Genghis Khan who had it worse.
    TL;DR: Assuming the stories are true, Genghis Khan is my hero above all other important leaders for one crucial reason. He earned his power himself through work and grit and not through connections or inherited wealth. I admire that.

      The Timurids exterminated Christianity in central Asia while their predecessors tolerated it, Timur was cruel even for standards of his time period.

    • @Smartacus98
      @Smartacus98 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The Nestorian church had been in sharp decline since well before Timur; the major catalyst for the collapse of Christianity in Central Asia was the onset of the Black Death in the 1340's. Timur is given far too much blame for the demise of Nestorianism, which mostly happened well before the Timurid Empire came to being.
      I might also remind you that his predecessors under the original Mongol Empire, and then the Ilkhanate, had on many occasions razed entire cities in Persia, the Middle East and Central Asia, and annihilated their entire populations without mercy. So, unless your criteria for "monster" is dubiously based solely upon how the people in question treated Christendom, then you can hardly go pointing fingers at Timur while absolving previous Mongol rulers.
      History is not contest of virtue, and if it was then everyone would lose.

Chinggis Khan only destroyed mosques that were built upon the destruction of a dharmic temple. Chinggis Khan and his descendants merely restored the terrible state of temples and they retaliated against intolerant muslims. Chinggis Khan and his non muslim descendants are saints in comparison with Timurid monsters.

    0:30 I think he murdered his half-brother (not his older brother). It was because his half-brother wasn't willing to share food when Genghis Khan and his blood brother, Jamuka, were starving.
    When Genghis Khan's father died of poisining, his family were left alone. Their tribe left them behind. They needed to hunt for food and life wasn't easy for them. Now when Genghis Khan's half brother was eating food without even thinking about his closest family, Genghis Khan killed him. It's also worth mentioning that he was only 9 when he killed his own half brother. It showed how ruthless Genghis Khan was at a young age.

    Also the Mughal empire in India was an offspring of the Mongol because Babur who conquered India by defeating the Lodi in 1526 was a descendant of Timur Lang who descended himself from Genghis Khan.

      Timur himself wasn’t really a descendant of genghis khan, but both him and Temujin were distant cousin as they both shared a common ancestor who is tumanay khan. But Babur on the other hand was a descendant of genghis khan through his mother qutlugh

    The huge loss of 2 fleets in invading Japan really saved Europe's bacon. The plan was to quickly conquer Japan, then move those forces west to form a huge invasion force vs Europe.. think about that for a bit. Two out of nowhere typhoon on Japan's coast, many years apart, wrecked the Mongol's fleets, first losing 40K men and later, 120K men!

    Fun fact from this video:
    Now I understood that how Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent(1520-1566) is a descendant of Genghis Khan. Sultan Suleyman's father Sultan Selim I (1512-1520) married Hafsa Sultana who was a Shahzadi/Princess from Shah Girai's royal family.
    They ruled Crimean Khanate which is the successor state of Golden Horde and it was a part of Mongol Empire. Sultan Mehmed II Fatih conquer Crimea and Crimea became a vassal of Ottoman Empire.

    Genghis Khan was a successful Hitler. The Mongol invasion killed half of the population of Hungary within 2 years and most of the country was deserted. It was a genocide. Took hundreds of years to repopulate and some areas were never rebuilt. Their cruelty and savagery were legendary. They were the worst in our history. I'm Hungarian for the record. I'm not trying to be funny here but this tragedy would partially explain why Hungarians and East Europeans don't have white guilt after suffering genocide form people of the Mongoloid race (non-whites) As opposed to West Europe. Similar situation for us when the Islamic invasion of East Europe happened just a few hundred years after the Mongol's.

    Both Turkic and Mongol people come from Altai so they had the same step culture and the same religion. The first Turkic confederation is accepted as Xiongnu while Mongol confederation was Xianbei. Since they were similar, as I've mentioned above, they started to have marriage relationships in order to build bigger confederations. At that time, there was no such thing as Turkic or Mongol, thus, we can't say those confederations were fully Turkic or fully Mongol. That's why I like using the term "distant cousins"

      Arda Aslan Turks are just looking for a place in Mongolian history... Mongolians have nothing to do with Turks... Mongolian tribes cluster with East Asians, closely related to the Japanese
      The most common Y-chromosome haplogroups are from the C3 sublineage (41.67%), including C3c (29.17%) and C3b (12.50%), followed by haplogroup O (23.61%), and haplogroup N (18.06%) (…) While haplogroups C and O are primarily restricted to Asia, haplogroup N is present at high frequency in Finns (60.5%), at low frequency in non-Mongolian East Asians (< 1%), and virtually absent throughout the remainder of European and African samples in 1000G
