I kept telling people that Genghis was a mount and blade protagonist but no one believes me. He : 1. Started weak and easily pushed around by just about anyone, even butchering his first big battle. 2. Joined powerful kingdom as mercenary, then became vassal with his private army, gaining prestige, power, relationship with nobles and knowledge of the kingdom. 3. Found some excuse to break off and invade his former kingdom, while getting nobles with high relationship to defect and join his new empire. 4. Conquered much of the world before he died with his sons continuing his legacy

The life and career of Genghis is so remarkable that it almost defies belief. If his story was written as fiction, it would have been dismissed as an outrageous fantasy. Considering his humble beginnings and the torturous difficulties that he had to endure and slowly build his base, his achievements are greater than those of Alexander and Caesar. Alexander and Caesar were born into privilege and within very established powers; Genghis was left out in the wilderness as a child with his family to die after his father was murdered. He had to learn to just survive. He had no education and no tutors. He had to learn on his own over many years of struggle and even failures. To me, this is more impressive. He endured a level of hardship over a long period that most people can't even imagine.

Speaking of Genghis Khan, there is a 1956 movie about him named "The Conqueror", in which the mongol Lord of War is played by no other than John Wayne (no wonder why that movie is considered one of the worst ever made). In fact, that film caused the death by cancer of 46 members of the staff, as it was filmed in zones actively used for nuclear tests

The Jin character used in the video is the wrong one. 晋 is the name of an earlier ethnic-Chinese dynasty (the successor to the Three Kingdoms), whilst 金 is the Jurchen kingdom in Northern China you were referring to in the video. The former is pronounced in the 4th tone and the latter 1st. 金 Jin (literally "gold") is so named because the Jurchens vanquished the Khitan 辽 (the name of an iron alloy) dynasty in its early days. Many of the former Khitan Liao nobility later detected to Genghis in his invasion of Jin. Great/very well-researched video otherwise!

Think both the mercenary and captive angle make sense. In fact, I think it's likely that Temujin initially offered up his services to the Jin before being taken captive, but more as a hostage along with his family, at least for a time. It would certainly add an extra layer of perceived justification for conquering them later on. More wood on the fire, as it were.

Amount of research had to be done in these videos are incredible. I learned more about my country's history from this channel than school and university. The history we thought was narrow and one sided. Showing all the great things about the Khan instead of going into deep analysis of the events. Mongolians perceive Khan as a absolute flawless commandor but rest of the world used to think he was a mindless barbarian. These videos are really useful for giving balanced ideas about him or any other historical figures. He was neither mindless murderious barbarian nor flawless godlike being.

K&G finally talks about genghis's youth as Temujin

Great job as usual! I was wondering if there is interest to cover the further legacy of Mongols beyond the Golden Horde you covered in a video about how they lost control of Russia, like the White Horde, and then Uzbek and Kazakh khanates. Recently Putin and his supporters purported claims like Kazakhstan never had a statehood, just like they pushed similar claims for Ukraine before invading. Kazakh khanate was large and one of the successors of the Mongol empire and existed for several centuries before the Russian empire absorbed it in the 19th century. It was always fascinating for me how we look alike with Mongols and how similar was our way of nomadic life, but how different we were in terms of languages and culture, as well as religion. They obviously assimilated into the local way of Turkic life, just like they did in China, but I would have expected more cultural similarities.

As a Mongolian I agree that Mongolians would taboo if our great khan went to Jin to seek a refugee. It seems very likely. Kudos to K&G on sheer research made on the topic

Temujin proceeded cautiously on his approach to the Naiman territory. He knew the Naimans would outnumber him when the time came to give battle. Their warriors had a fierce reputation, their commanders known for their tendency to take the offensive and press the attack. But Temujin also knew that the Naiman king, Baibuka Tayang, was not a good general. Long before the present war he had taken the measure of the man and concluded that, "the Naiman are strong in numbers, but their khan is a weak man who has never been out of his tent."25 When in command of a strong army, even a weak general can be dangerous, however, for as an old proverb had it, an army of lions led by a donkey was more dangerous than an army of donkeys led by a lion!

More notably, trying to ambush him when he came to pay tribute. It's ridiculous how many rulers tried to backstab him, only to doom their own empires. Hindsight is 20-20 and all, but man was crossing Genghis Khan a bad idea.

I'm actually curious now. GK was always a big fan of SEVERE retribution (see Khwarazmian Empire, or resultant lack thereof), so I have to wonder what could have been if the Jin didn't break faith. In this narrative, tribute was still being paid and stopped only after Jin turned on him. He had to know that he was going to be replaced as favored barbarian border vassal. So he had no choice but to move against them. But what if they kept talking his tribute? Dynastic squabbles were commonplace, so maybe ou boy Temujin might have just backed one of his homies play for emperor. Or even become a hired warlord against the Song. It really seems like punking Ghengis Khan out was one of histories greatest mistakes. As to nesting such a serpent to their breast, well they did that a whole bunch and no e of those guys blew up like that. There might be a connection here between dynastic and governmental upheavals and poorly thought out and executed betrayals, as this isn't the only example of this by any means. Perhaps I'm wrong though and unexpected power shifts are the mere product of deity and destiny.

He did have his own history written in his lifetime. If you look closely at the Yasa as it has been passed down, some parts of it still has the reasons behind certain laws that are taken from his own life experiences. The most famous of these is the one about all parts of any animal being OK to eat because during a campaign his army ran out of food and they found the innards of an unidentified animal, cooked, and ate them. The original Yasa was full of little stories like this and it was probably arranged according to the sequence of those stories instead of any logical organization of the laws. Later on, Mongol chronicles decided to reorganize the Yasa to make it more rational as a law book and got rid of first the sequence, then the stories themselves.

one mistake in video：the character of Jin Dynasty is not "晋" but "金". the 晋 was another chinese dynasty established in 3rd centry which was 900 years before temujin's time. While 金 dynasty was founded in around 1115 BC by jurchen people (女真) and then conquored north China. character 金 means "gold" in chinese. both 晋 and 金 are pronounced as almost same as "Jin", but in different tones, 晋 is 4th tone, 金 is 1st tone. anyway they are 2 different historic concepts. exvept this minor mistake, this video is great!

You know actually this reminded me a bit of King David working for the Philistines, he works for them as a mercenary and when King Saul was killed they installed him as king and backed him in his word succession against two Saul's sons! Later he turned on them and reduced them to being his vassals, ambitious warlords 🤷🏻‍♂️
