Genghis Khan, Leader Of The Mongol Empire

The grasslands of Central Asia are known as steppes. In ancient times the only people that lived there were pastoralists. These were nomadic people who survived by herding animals who fed on grass, the only plants that grew there. The land and harsh environment taught these nomadic people to be harsh and do what was necessary The people of this land were viewed as uncivilized and barbaric by settled people.

The Mongol empire is undeniably one of the largest empires in history. The immense conquer of civilizations would not occur without their great rulers. Founder Genghis Khan started the successful conquers ending with his grandson Kublai Khan. The large size of the empire ultimately led to its fall, but the rule abetted the conquered people.

What if Genghis Khan did not create a strict law? If Genghis Khan did not create a law code so strict the peasants would not have eventually reformed or fought against him in favor of The New Economic Policy Lenin put forward. Communism would not have become the successful form of government Asia is under today,

The following essay will discuss the leadership qualities of Genghis Khan and the women in his life that continued to rule the Mongol Empire. This essay will exemplify how Genghis Khan's capability to lead was established by realizing his beginnings and how through intense leadership skills his daughters were able to save and run his empire after his death.

Genghis Khan established the Mongol empire. He is still called God and Hero of his country. His achievements were incredible because he made the biggest empire ever, and surprisingly established it from a small nomadic tribe. He had great skills in battles, and the amazing talent of the leader. However, when we think that a person is a hero, always we tend to focus on only good aspects of their achievement, for example Christopher Columbus. He took over North American and brutally murdered the Native Americans and still today Americans continue to celebrate Columbus Day. This time, I will focus not on what he has achieved mainly, but what he has done to achieve, because we are more likely to see the achievement. Also, I want to write about

Genghis Khan, be unparalleled in conquerors history, is considered as the greatest military leaders of all time. His contiguous empire stretched from China to Europe controlling the largest empire in history. However, he himself never be greedy for gain. His driving force to rule the huge empire was the generosity. He distributed all of the spoils of wars to his able generals and his people. Genghis Khan born on the grass ger and died on the grass as well. He left nothing but to conquer rest of the lands he sees. Here is another man who accumulated more wealth than the most successful conqueror in history, but not know for generosity at the moment, John Davison Rockefeller.

He had the largest empire, before the industrialized age, and the largest, Congenital Empire ever. Thanks to his glorious and skillful tactics, Mongol horde, wise leadership, as well as his immense

Genghis Khan was known as the Great Khan and founder of the Mongol Empire, which he made the largest contiguous empire in history after his death. He got his power by conquering nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia. After founding the Empire and being proclaimed "Genghis Khan", he launched the Mongol invasions that conquered most of Eurasia. His campaigns were those against the Qara Khitai, Caucasus, Khwarazmian, Western Xia and Jin Dynasties. These campaigns were often accompanied by large-scale massacres of the civilian populations. By the end of his life, the Mongol Empire occupied a substantial portion of Central Asia and China. Beyond his military accomplishments, Genghis Khan adopted the Uyghur script as the Mongol Empire's writing system. He also practiced meritocracy and encouraged religious tolerance in the Mongol Empire, and unified the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia. “To Mongolia, Genghis was George Washington, first ruler to unite Mongolia” (Edwards). Present-day Mongolians regard him as the founding father of Mongolia. Although known for the brutality of his campaigns and considered by many to have been a genocidal ruler, Genghis Khan is also credited with bringing the Silk Road under one cohesive political environment. This brought communication and trade from Northeast Asia into Muslim Southwest Asia and Christian Europe, thus connecting all three cultural areas.

The rise of the Mongol Empire can be attributed to a famous emperor, Genghis Khan. He led his armies through the Great Wall of China and crushed the Jin Dynasty. “In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the Mongols were far from more barbarous than their neighboring tribes. For this reason Genghis Khan, as the cultivated Chinese put it, was nothing more nor less than a barbarian. However, this barbarian possessed a number of qualities that enabled him to become one of the greatest conquerors in the history of the word” (Hartog p.139). Unfortunately, he has a sudden death in 1227 while in the war against the Xia Dynasty. Before his passing Genghis ordered his second son, Ogedei Khan, as his inheritor to split his empire into four khanates between his children and grandchildren to complete his invasion. Many years pass after Genghis Khan died, and several Mongol leaders attempted to continue the mission of the Great Khan. It isn’t until his grandson Kublai Khan, succeeded in creating a more powerful domain during his establishment of the Yuan Dynasty

While it was not unusual for the men of the Mongol empire to be out battling for control over foreign lands, the wives of the tribal and clan chiefs would frequently accompany their husband’s during actions against enemies (Hartog 10). The women would, “put on the helmet of war, taking up the bows and arrows of battle, and going forth to defend their nation and their families” alongside their husbands (Weatherford, Secret History).

People can go down in history for a variety of reasons, whether it be protesting inequalities, being the first to achieve an impressive task, or simply being successful. Among those remembered, conquerors are often remembered by many, often in conflicting light. The greatest individual conquerors of the world’s past include Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Attila the Hun. But alongside these memorable names is the widely known Alexander the Great. His colossal empire spanned around two million square miles, falling behind only Genghis Khan for having the largest conquered area ruled by one individual (Jayne Notes). And, as with any person who did things along that line, Alexander the Great is often conflicted on whether he was a hero or a

There are many other notable contenders for the title of greatest conqueror, such as Alexander the Great, Attila the Hun, Augustus Caesar, and Charlemagne. They all managed to also accumulate expansive territories. However, in my estimation Genghis Khan, was the greatest military conqueror of all time, as measured by his ability to wield cruelty, capture territory and devise tactical

In a class discussion, we have assimilated the personalities of Genghis Khan and Timur depending on their characters shared by narcissism, wickedness, and inclining toward dying and destruction, where it originally comes from the Yasa traditions. Yasa has traumatized the Iranian society and become an inspiration for the public to produce a sustained quality in their realm. Timur was a strongly divided person, who took pleasure in arts, lavish gardens, enjoy marvelous architecture, and would invest days chatting with extraordinary researchers such as the Muslim historian Ibn Khaldun. On the other hand, he was a heartless champion, associated by brutality for the pyramids of skulls built from people butchered in

Akbar the Great, the second ruler of the Mughal Empire, was enthroned at age 14. His reign extended for the next 49 years until his death. Akbar was unlike any other Mughal ruler because of how progressive he was for his time. Throughout his reign, there was encouragement for religious freedom because, he himself was an incredibly spiritual and intellectual person. Badayuni, a contemporary historian during Akbar’s time, said, “His majesty spent whole nights in praising God… and from a feeling of thankfulness for his past successes he would sit many a morning alone in prayer and meditation on a large flat stone of an old building which lay near the palace in a lonely spot, with his head bent over his chest, gathering the bliss of the early hours of dawn”(Smith 715). As can be interpreted by this quote, Akbar valued connections to a higher power, no matter what that higher power was. This way of thinking led to an impressive religious tolerance policy that was apart of his empire, one that helped to unite the country, and to bridge the divide between Hindus and Muslims specifically. “[Akbar’s] syncretistic genius had its impact not only on the political affairs of the Mughal Empire but also on the development of the arts”(Koch 43).
