      I know this is probably a bit late now, but thought id throw a fun fact at you. the male line of Genghis and Kublai khan is officially the most prolific in history and was dubbed "the Khan Gene" it is estimated that 16 million men alive today are the direct descendants of this line (mostly due to several generations of this family having one of the biggest harem's in the world) that is an estimated 8% of Asian men* and 0.5% of men worldwide that carry "The Khan Gene"
      the article below gives a quick summery of the study as well as some other notable figures in history that geneticists believe may have a similar legacy. perhaps names to look out for in your travels through history.

Horses wouldn't work well when attacking a walled chinese city, so they learnt the art of siege warfare to conquer much of china.

      Maybe. The real advantage that Europe had were the terrain and their fortifications. With regard to terrain, a look at the map will show that central and western Europe is mountainous and forested. The sort of cavalry that the Mongols used requires a lot of flat, open terrain to be effective, and the sorts of castles that were being built in Europe (and by the Crusaders in the Levant) required a lot of time to besiege (to starve out the defenders) and/or more modern artillery; the former did not suit the Mongol way of war, and the latter would take a few more centuries to develop. Many of the fortifications that the Mongols did take were taken because Mongol terror tactics induced the defenders to surrender. The Mongols generally promised local rulers that they would remain in power as vassals if they surrendered, but they would kill everybody - men, women, children, animals - if they resisted. To show they were serious, the Mongols would sack one resisting town, kill almost everyone, and build a hill of skulls before allowing a few of the survivors flee so that they could being news of the destruction to other nearby towns. Thus while the Mongols did have access to siege equipment, and they did conduct sieges (e.g. Baghdad, Hangzhou, Samarkand, Kiev, etc.), they did not have to use it too often.

    There were numerous reasons why Mongol invasion of India failed -
    - India in this era was essentially ruled by the huge empire of Delhi under Khilji dynasty, at the peak of its power in 1290s. Mongols had troubled with invading other large, consolidated empires all the time.
    - India is surrounded on all three sides by mountain ranges (and the remaining is covered by the sea), which in medieval era were often heavily fortified with castles (and Khilji rulers paid particular attention to them due to constant threat). The dry deserts of eastern Persia and Baluchistan didn't permit any large army movement, and Himalayas are nearly impenetrable even in modern era, let alone back then.
    This left only Pamir and Gandhar regions in the northwest where any invading Mongol armies could reasonably pass through. And even those had castles (like Attok/अट्टक) followed by the Indus river and its tributaries.
    Overall, this made supplying any larger invasion army without support of any local princes, much more difficult.
    - Mongol horse archer cavalry were excellent all around, but climate in India is very different from the ones their steppe horses were accustomed to. Illnesses whittled their cavalry down every time they entered India. They had to bring in Turkish cavalry mercenaries along from other parts of the empire, and that in itself a tedious and expensive task (and Delhi had their own Turkish soldiers).
    - India had the largest economy on the planet (in a very close competition with China) until mid-18th century. And in this era, when you have a mostly unified empire in Delhi (in contrast to a rich but divided and weak empire in Song China, or even a very divided India two centuries earlier), it means there were some gigantic armies waiting for anyone to just dare to try.
    - Leadership played a part in this as well. Delhi had a string of ruthless, cruel and yet capable and powerful rulers around the same time as Mongke, Kublai and his successors in Mongolia.
    By the time Delhi weakened, Mongols themselves had broken apart and were facing rebellions and collapse everywhere.
    In the end, all Mongol invasions in India failed. If they had occurred a century or two earlier, things might've gone very differently.

    There’s an interesting family drama worthy of any soap opera that had major repercussions: Ghengis wife was kidnapped by another tribe, and when he rescued her she was pregnant (May have been raped). So his wife’s first son named Jochi was born under suspicion that he wasn’t really his, although ghengis said he was his legitimate son, most people thought he was not his. This brought problems later because Ghengis divides his empire to his sons, and the sons and their descendants quarreled with each other with Ghengis other sons looking down in Jochi. Instead of uniting, the incident from the past haunted the Mongol empire.

    I really recommend Kings and Generals (especially Mongols: Genghis to Kublai Documentary), as they go in depth for the empire, this is more of a summary. They have many in-depth and well-researched episodes for the Mongols, and the art is very high quality for being just a RUclips channel. For the Jin invasion, Chinggis was leaving as a sickness had spread in his camp with his first siege of Zhongdu (modern-day Beijing), but a messenger told him the Jin were moving south to the new capital, in opposition to a peace treaty made recently before leaving (to pay tribute and be a vassal). This led the Mongols to come back and destroy Zhongdu because of the blatant breaking of the treaty. There are also other channels as well that are great.

    As for the pronunciation Chingis/Ghengis ... you're an English speaking person! You should have an idea and first hand experience of brutalizing foreign words, changing them relentlessly to what you think they should be pronounced like without bothering how they are actually pronounced. I still maintain that the Romans left Britain because of how the natives mangled their beautiful language so that they couldn't take it any more. It also explains the estrangement between England and France. The French could never forgive the English for what they did to their language. ;) But, on a more serious note: It's always extremely difficult to try to write down in a notation meant for a different language sounds in a foreign language that have no equivalent in your own. And a Mongolian pronouncing Chingis will *not* quite sound like the gentleman in the video. So they tried their best. And (in this case) were actually not that much off. I have South-African neighbors. When they speak in their native tongue, I'd be completely clueless on how to turn most of what I hear into words.

    The mongol invasion fleet sent to Japan was pretty flimsy, barely up to the job and it was destroyed by a typhoon, which the Japanese were grateful for and named the Divine Wind. A name they applied to their suicide pilots in WWII.
    India was protected from the Mongols to the north by the Himalayan mountain range.
    Marco Polo never went to the Americas. This was all pre- columbus. He wrote about his travels years after he did them, while languishing in a prison. Some of what he wrote was fantastical, other parts can be verified. So there is doubt about the veracity of what he actually did and saw, or was it hearsay he was recounting.
    Magna Carta when King John was forced to sign concessions to his nobility, was 1215. The mongol expansion began in1206 according to the video. A tad earlier, though still king John. His son Henry III was having troubles with one of his nobles, Simon de Montfort in 1264/5. Another date mentioned in the vid. Western Europe wasn't affected by the Mongols, but it had an affect on the fighting for control of the holy land between Christians and moslems. It converted a bi-partisan conflict into a three way fight. Added complications.

    Tuoba Liwei (Chinese: 拓拔力微; pinyin: Tuòbá Lìwéi) was the first leader of the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei people, in 219-277. He was the ancestor of the future Northern Wei Dynasty and was thus posthumously honored as Emperor Shenyuan, with the temple name Shizu. Later, Emperor Wen of Western Wei changed his temple name to Taizu.
    yet Youd think I was of African origin
    94th great-grandfather
    The distribution of the Xianbei people ranged from present day Northeast China to Mongolia, and the Tuoba were one of the largest clans among the western Xianbei, ranging from present day Shanxi province and westward and northwestward. They established the state of Dai from 310 to 376 AD[22] and ruled as the Northern Wei from 386 to 536. The Tuoba states of Dai and Northern Wei also claimed to possess the quality of earth in the Chinese Wu Xing theory. All the chieftains of the Tuoba were revered as emperors in the Book of Wei and the History of the Northern Dynasties.

    2: horses were ineffectuve against the chinese mainly bc they had forts which horses would not do anything against, if the chinese were fool enough to challenge the mongols in open areas generally they got hammered because horses are 600lbs running machines with elite archers on their backs
    3: the reason 1266 sounds familiar might be the date 1066 which is when the normans invaded england

    What you refuse to recognise is in a feudal society if you didn't show strength and the ability to hold territory you would be seen as weak and conquered pretty quickly. Egos may have been at play, but also simple survival and foresight. It's the same diplomacy done today, show weakness and somebody attacks.
    You are talking about American values 500 years before America (the country) existed. These are Mongol values, that you seem to believe America adopted. It's very arrogant to consider it an American value when you are looking centuries before it even existed.

Tens of thousands of convicted criminals were deported to the Americas and there were only a maximum of 102 people per boat for the puritans, so who do you think settled and created the United States of America?

      @@daveofyorkshire301 It is true that a great number of people found guilty of what we would regard as minor crimes were sent to all parts of the New World as 'indentured servants'. Which means that they were tied to a particular employer for a period. As the employer had no responsibility to repatriate the felon at the end of their sentence many served out their lives in, what would be regarded in other circumstances as slavery. I know of no British penal settlements in the Americas in any way similar to those in Australia. The Georgians and Victorians used many public and private charitable institutions to export surplus people to all parts of the world. Canada, India and Australia were destinations for 'bride ships'.

And about modern Mongolia- well, after Russia had its own revolution, communism was bring to Mongolia (even tho there was a crazy russian-german guy named Ungern-Sternberg who bring back Chans for the throne for a short time). In that time, early twenties of XX century, huge amount of male population was closed in monastery, so Mongolia have big problem with demographics and economy. Communists changed that by destroying monasteries (and de facto Mongolian culture) and killing ton of people. I really don't know much about todays Mongolia, but there is little population living in this country with about 1/3
    of it, only in capital city of Ulan Bataar

    Goryeo(korea) never surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty(Mongol Empire).
    It is unequal, but it has only signed a treaty of mutual friendship.
    The Goryeo and Yan Dynasty were influenced by each other, not unilaterally controlled. King Goryeo had the right to elect the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
    War between Goryeo (Korea) and Mongolia
    1st invasion: Date: August 1231-March 1232
    30,000 Mongolian troops invaded. Goryeo succeeded in defending an important castle and bound half of the soldiers, but the capital was besieged, sending the royal family hostages and signing a peace treaty.
    2nd invasion
    Date: August 1232-December 1232
    Goryeo moved the palace to the island for war against Mongolia, and Mongolia invaded again.
    Mongolia could not properly occupy a single castle, and the commander-in-chief was killed in battle and retreated.
    3rd invasion
    Date: July 1235-April 1239
    When the Geum Dynasty fell in 1234, it attacked Goryeo. Mongolia lost several defeats, devastating Goryeo territory over four years and inflicting enormous damage.
    Eventually, in the winter of 1238, the Goryeo court proposed Ganghwa to Mongolia, and Mongolia also withdrew in the spring of 1239 on condition of Goryeo Gojong's entrance. But didn't fulfill the promise
    4th invasion
    Date: July 1247-March 1248
    Due to the short period, there was no significant damage, and the Mongolian emperor died and withdrew.
    5th invasion
    Date: July 1253-January 1254
    It came down to the central part of the Korean peninsula, but was withdrawn without capturing Chungju, an important adult.
    6th invasion
    Date: July 1254-December 1254
    The Mongolian army lost all three major siege battles and withdrew.
    However, the Mongol army plundered severely and captured 200,000 people, causing great damage.
    7th Invasion-Mongolia's Amphibious Operation
    Date: September 1255-June 1256
    The Mongolian army won one battle, but lost six battles and withdrew.
    8th invasion
    Date: May 1257-October 1257
    Mongolia lost two battles and withdrew when Goryeo promised friendship.
    9th invasion
    Date: April 1258-March 1259
    Mongolia lost two battles and withdrew when Goryeo promised friendship.
    1259 Goryeo Prince meets and discusses with Kublai, and Goryeo and Mongolia conclude a peace agreement, although they are unequal.
    Mongolia invaded 9 times, but each time they were defeated, they knew it was impossible to conquer Goryeo.
    Mongolian emperor Kublai made six promises and said he would not interfere with Goryeo.
    The clothes and hats worn on the head do not need to be changed according to the customs of Goryeo
    Envoys are banned from anything other than those sent by the Yuan court.
    Return to the capital can be adjusted in time at Goryeojeong.
    The troops withdrew in the fall.
    All of the Official from Mongolia are withdrawn.
    Those who volunteered to stay in Mongolia are investigated and returned.
    After the discussion, Prince Goryeo asked Kublai to become son-in-law.
    Afterwards, the kings of Goryeo became son-in-law of Kublai and his descendants and had the right to elect the emperor.
    The Mongolian emperor was able to replace the son-in-law, King Goryeo, but due to Kublai's promise, he could not interfere with anything in Goryeo.
    Mongolia could not occupy Goryeo and only signed a peace treaty.
    The Mongol emperor was able to replace the king of Goryeo, but he could not easily replace the king of Goryeo, an important member of the imperial family.
