Genghis Khan - $7 English project
Born Temujin in Khentii Mountains, Khamaq Mongol in August 18, 1227. He was born grasping a blood clot in his fist which is a traditional sign that he is destined to become a great leader. He was the first son of Hoelun, who is the second wife of his father Yesugei. Genghis had three brothers Hasar, Hachiun and Temuge, one sister Temulen and two half-brothers Begter and Belgutei. Genghis had a very difficult early life. Genghis’s father arranged his marriage when he was only 9 years old and delivered him to the family of his future wife Borte, she belonged from the tribe of Khongirad. Genghis had to live there serving the head of the household Dai Setsen until the marriageable age of 12.
One day while heading home, his father ran into the neighboring Tatars, who had long been Mongol enemies. They offered him food that poisoned him. After his father’s death, Genghis returned home to claim his fathers’ position as chief. But the tribe refused this and abandoned the family, leaving it without protection. This left the family in poverty, surviving in wild fruits and raw meat. Later, his older brother Begter began to exercise power as the eldest male in the family. Genghis grew up observing the tough political climate, which included tribal warfare, thievery, raids, corruption and revenge between confederations, compounded by interference from abroad, such as from china to the south. His mother taught him many lessons, especially the need for strong alliances to ensure stability in Mongolia.
When Genghis Khan became the founder of the Mongol empire, he had a wide and long-lasting impact on civilization. Later, he turned out to be the most ruthless and the greatest conqueror. A brutal barbarian and the founder of the largest connected land empire the world has ever seen. Genghis together with his sons and grandsons went to war on an immense scale. In only 25 years, the Mongol army conquered more territory than the romans had done in 400 years. And what’s more remarkable is he was able to achieve around 100,000 men, making Genghis khan one of the most successful military commanders the world has ever seen.
Now, for our project today, answer the following questions:
1) What was the most challenging part of Genghis Khan's childhood?
2) What was their marriage system?
3) What is your impression of Genghis Khan? Was he good or bad? Why? Please elaborate.
