The Mongol Empire was easily bigger and unlike the Europeans they didn't have any diseases to easily take out the local population.

The Mongol Empire was pretty impressively large, but didn't really leave much cultural or genetic impact.
IMO the only real competitor with the British and Spaniards for greatest empire is the Umayyad Caliphate. They conquered from Iberia to South Asia and left long-lasting influence.

European influence in the asias wasnt that high unlike the south America's imo.

China/India have still managed to take a hold of their respective cultures (well I mean atleast India has...).

The only real argument can be made about secularism but India/China always were pretty much secularly run.

China has a large influence from """communism"""" tho.

Europeans weren't extremely influential on all of Asia, but many Asian countries today (eg. Japan, Taiwan, South Korea) have European forms of government. Not to mention the fact that all their leaders wear European-style suits...

>>2198824
Fair enough.

I'd also argue that the Turk's have left just as much of a legacy from their exploits.

And Genghis Khan left a huge genetic legacy across all of Asia.

>didn't leave a large genetic impact

1 in 5 Asians would beg to differ.

Meanwhile in reality the bubonic plague was one of the most lethal plagues in history.

>>2198621
Mongols, Han China, the Ottomans, the (short-lived) Japanese Empire,

the rest of the world had their great empires, tho admittedly they didn't keep as strong a hold for a long a time save for the Ottomans, who made a 700 year run for it.

>>2198879
So?

>>2198790
what about the chinese?

>>2198885

It started in mongolia

>>2198885

Please don't be wrong about things before you post on /his/.

You're right, I should have said ethnic impact. Many Asians may have Khan genes, but the Mongolian ethnicity is still confined to the steppes. Unlike Europeans who spread to the New World and Arabs who spread to North Africa and the Levant.

I'm not too sure, but aren't Mongolians kind of like turks?

Yes but the Brit'/spaniard's intentionally spread diseases whereas the Mongols just happened to bring it along.
