      ​@@quangle-zi2oz interesting point....as I truthfully ask myself this question, it leads first to the question as to how innocent were all that died? I am being truthfully honest with trying to answer you, but you yourself should ask yourself this to. It has been a very long time since I watched this and commented some sense especially if we look at the state at which things happen on a social level, but even on a personal level. 2 years ago my answer may of been different then today, it also depends on how you are asking the question, right? Just you asking this is important as to how I answer, not knowing you or your situation poses a couple of questions as how to answer..... I will answer but it may not be how you would like me to answer or even right by that as to which is the answer she would given it will also come with an additional caveat question as to the question of "as compared to todays standards". It is not right to compare it as apples to apples at all ...that I do hope you can agree to, standards are different today compared to then. That said, my answer today with the level of understanding or lack there of-of our lives on earth currently of back then: I don't know , but I fully appreciate her level of cleverness and fortitude to carry such a revenge out. Another caveat you should consider put yourself in her shoes, I have a strong sense of empathy, it is a difficult thing to possess, in the fact itself and to answer your question as I can not-not take into consideration all of which you say and my comment should of reflected that my admiration was not on the tragedy of results of any of the steps that resulted in the end but as to how strong of a will that it took to just cope with life after what she endured. personally she scares the fk out of me and its not my position to judge another sorrow but will appreciate the fortitude to see oneself through it.....Not knowing you I hope that answers your question, feel free to lmk if it did or didn't answer you correctly. the whole mess is a far deeper subject then just one question to be asked, that I hope you can agree, as the first answer would be a question inofitself truly.

People confused. Or maybe Islamic people feared from Chinggis Khaan and gave their children his name so, bad luck away from the children when devil hear Khaan’s name. Some Mongolia tribes did use his name for this simple reason.

    Lol, I like how the revenge on the Drevlians were severely overkill. It was probably a smallish group of them who met with her husband when the trading thing went wrong and they killed him. So she basically killed their entire people (tons of innocents) because just a handful of them killed her husband.

      In hindsight, the Drevlians were like dumbasses for blindly believing in her "guest ceremonies" after her husband's death. Same thing goes to Khwarezmian empire too.
      The difference is Drevlians could have avoided their ill fate but nothing can be done to avoid Genghis Khan's revenge. NOTHING!

Not only was she a strong woman, successful in her massive revenge campaign, but she also found love at the end and had a happy ending, if you could call it that. That kind of outcome doesn't usually happen in real history. Its usually the kind of thing you only see in movies, which makes it perfect for a movie.

      He in fact was playing an act. this is backed up because he never “left his wife”. His wife knew of his and the other 46 ronins plan, but he couldn’t stand for her and his children to see him the way he was. She supported him but left with the children willingly because she agreed the children did not need to remember their father as a drunk. All 47 ronin were buried together and are remembered as warriors for carrying out their samurai duty of avenging their master.

I declared peace with Kangaskhan and gave him what he wanted but I told myself I will get Revenge. I started a mass Army build up then invaded Japan to the north to bolster my Army. Then invaded Genghis Khan I defeated them and had most of North Africa under my control. Then I bit more than I could chew by invading India India counter attacked and destroyed 70% of my Invasion Force. Had no choice but to fall back to the Border it was a great game it was the first game I ever played where I was actually a Powerhouse. I was new civilization I was learning how to play it

    Could’ve included the story of Chao Ma, one of the five from “Three Kingdoms” warring period in ancient China. He was the young commander of a province in Northwest China, and was one day presented with the heads of his father and two brothers who were killed by the top warlord Cao Cao. He dedicated his life to revenge and led 200,000 men on continuous battles against Cao Cao and defeated him many times.
    Or the Bulgarian Orthodox king Kaloyan, who responded after the Catholic Latin forces of Baldwin 1 conquered Constantinople and burned 2/3rds of it - the Latin’s committed many atrocities during this period according to sources after their community was itself massacres by Greeks in the decades before - but this didn’t have much to do with the Bulgarian Kaloyan who battled Baldwin’s overconfident forces at the Battle of Adrianople in 1205, wiping them out and bringing an end to the Latin Empire. Legend has it he turned Baldwin’s skull into a drinking cup after lining it with silver, because Baldwin made a pass at Kaloyan’s wife while he was in captivity.

      Much simpler, those who wronged you meant war. Loyalty was earned and brutality served as reminders. Empires expanded, trade was rife and knowledge was shared for the first time in history. Due to this, gunpowder was introduced into Europe. I could even argue that this the moment that the huge power vacuum in Asia is what allowed Europe to start becoming a global superpower.

    Thank you for that. It has given me a greater respect for the Mongols and is the only time I have heard the story of what caused the Khan to behave in the way he did.
