The greatest conqueror in history?

Him or Alexander.

Probably, but his kids fucked it up pretty quickly.

It's sort of a catch-22.

A great system will produce consistent successes that are hard to trace back to one person, because one person didn't do it.

A great person will produce amazing successes, but they are hard to unpack, to disseminate, and so they end when that person dies.

If we have a Great Man in history, it's probably the produce of a Not Great System.

You can compare him to virtually any other great conqueror and you'l quickly realize how fucking alpha this horsefag was. Most conquerors were born into nobility and were raised with care and attention in a country already made to see them as the next ruler(Alexander). Temujin grew up as a piss poor hunter providing for his family, the circumstances forced him to spend the better half of his life gathering the love of the people and fighting to unify Mongolia. After that he conquered empires while any other khan struggled to maintain power.

The single conqueror that could stand up to him would be Napoleon, but I still don't think he did half as much as Genghis
