- Description
- The Empire of Genghis Khan: Part One of Empires Of The Mongols focuses on the life of Genghis Khan. Raised by his mother under the name of Temujin in relative poverty, his military skills soon won him acclaim and earned him the title of khan. Once elected, Genghis Khan defeated the neighbouring tribes of the Steppes and united them under him. With a mighty army he set out to pillage the rest of Asia and to expand his realm into northern China and to the fringes of Europe. At war he was a feared opponent and the barbarity of his forces was legendary, yet he had another side. He founded a capital city, laid down a code of law and fostered an exchange of trade and culture with the surrounding nations. Empires Of The Mongols takes a look at modern-day Mongolia to convey the harshness of the climate and the difficulties that would have faced a man such as Genghis Khan.
