Genghis Khan (1162–1227)
Warrior Emperor
Significance
•
Some estimate that as many as 40 MILLION people were
slaughtered in the course of Genghis Khan’s invasions.
•
But he also granted religious freedom to his subjects,
abolished torture, encouraged trade and created the first
international postal system !
Summary
•
He rose from humble beginnings to
establish the largest land empire in history!
•
After uniting the nomadic tribes of the
Mongolian plateau, he conquered huge
chunks of central Asia and China.
•
His descendants expanded the empire even
further, advancing to such far-off places
as Poland! At their peak, the Mongols
controlled area about the size of Africa.
Death
Genghis Khan died in 1227 during a military campaign against
the Chinese kingdom of Xi Xia. His final resting place remains
unknown.
Charles J Halperin:
“(Genghis) was no more
cruel, and no less, than
empire builders before
and since.
Stacey Hodgedkin
“Ghenghis Khan was
a cruel despot who
raised mountains of
human skulls”
Historical Debate
Fun Fact: Genghis really had a LUST for life. He has so
many babies with different women each day that
approximately 16 million men today share his DNA!
