Can someone please give me a brief (150-200 words) of Genghis Khan and his impact on modern history? I'm not going to use it word for word, but I need an idea of where to go with my own summary. Thanks in advance

    Genghis was a person of incredible acheivement, who turned a group of dusunited sheep herders into an efficient military force, able to dominate the world, in only a few years. The unity he created led to an expansion of trade and commerce, which helped lead to the Renaissance. There was much technical progress under him as well, as the Chinese invented such things as gunpowder rockets and paper money. The progress under his (and his heirs) rule in China stands in stark constrast to the stagnation under the Ming rulers.

    Genghis Khan Summary

    Genghis Khan is widely considered a ruthless conquerer, but that is because unlike other great empires, his people did not leave a written history, only his foes did. Genghis united the people of the Mongolian plains into an army that conquered Asia from Korea to the Russia steppes Although he conquered cities by ruthless force, he also spread trade and knowledge of the varied cultures throughout his kingdom.

    Mongol leader Genghis Khan (1162-1227) 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 descendents expanded the empire even further, advancing to such far-off places as Poland, Vietnam, Syria and Korea. At their peak, the Mongols controlled between 11 and 12 million contiguous square miles, an area about the size of Africa. Many 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. Genghis Khan died in 1227 during a military campaign against the Chinese kingdom of Xi Xia. His final resting place remains unknown.

    Genghis Khan conquered everything from Korea to Turkey, except Japan. Japan whipped his navy. Twice. He laid so many women that there is a 1 in 200 chance that you are descended from him. Even a short summary would take more space than we are allowed here.

    Genghis Khan was a badass ************ who kills aliens and doesn’t afraid of anything. He took shitty Mongolia and turned it into the ultra Mongol Empire Some guys in China were like “Mongolia is so stupid, it’s in Russia’s *** and is China’s hat. Genghis was mad so he killed all of China. After he exterminated China’s military in like, 1100AD or some year medievally, he was like “**** I’m bored” and decided to take over other countries. He went to India because he felt like Indian food one day, but they got his order mixed up, so he invaded. Ironically, the order was right, and he was the one who mixed it up. He sent his brother in law or somebody to Japan to take it over, but a storm blew in, so that didn’t happen. He took over the Middle East, which made Europe happy because they just got their asses kicked in the crusades, and they didn’t like the Middle East. But Europe was like ”****” because now Khan wanted Europe, but Genghis dies before he made it to Europe, so they were spared. And so ends the reign of Genghis Khan. Goodbye.
