In core class, we learned about the Mongols, who were a fierce Barbarian tribe who took over China and many surrounding territories. They ruled an empire that was twice as large as the Roman empire. They were amazing warriors, with amazing rulers. But they fought mercilessly and cruelly. They would kill every living thing in every city they destroyed.
Genghis Khan was a Mongol ruler who unified all of the Mongols. He was very powerful, and very mean. When he died, his empire fell apart. But Tamerlane, a ruler even meaner than Genghis Khan, took over and reunified the Mongols. When he died, a great grand son of Genghis Khan named Kublai Khan took control of the Mongol empire and took control of what the other two couldn't: China. That was the beginning of a new dynasty.
