Lasting Legacy
Genghis Khan founded the largest land empire of all time which stretched from the Pacific to Hungary. Mongolia spanned almost the entire continent. Such a feat would not have been possible without superb leadership, organizational skills, an exemplary army, brutality, and one of the greatest military tacticians of all time.
Genghis Khan also brought upon peace within his empire. Something desired by many since the beginning of time. Genghis Khan made the previously dangerous Silk Road cross-able. Strict and brutal laws discouraged outlaws. Some say that it was so peaceful a sack of gold could be carried across the empire without fear. Genghis Khan brought upon the world the modern day postal system. Using a team of swift riders, he quickly relayed messages across his empire, setting up several stations equipped with trained deliverymen and horses.
Genghis Khan's religious tolerance is evident in today's society, as acceptance of other peoples' beliefs is a general rule of society in modern day America. The support Genghis Khan made to trading helped shape future events that wouldn't have been possible without items from other countries. Those places may have not received these items as it would've been too difficult to get there.
The Mongol language used during Genghis Khan's era was one of the first to use written symbols. This innovation created the postal system, allowing messages to be sent from far distances, and even helped in war allowing them to receive updates from the battle. Without Genghis Khan's wise leadership and several innovations and legacies, our lives could have differed dramatically.
