>you will never be a khan in the steppes conquering most of the known world

"The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you,
to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears,
and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters."

Must be tough to know for the mongolians today that they will never be that great again.

We're still very proud of what was acomplished but we dont brag

By my guess you will be annexxed within the next 50-100 years by china, which will also be the next superpower.

>>67436

China would rather buy russian land. Ruskies are easier to pacify, especially in the east.

John Green is one of those guys who pick a favourite subject and can find single instances of feminism, meritocracy, rule of law, etc. and uses them to define the entire system.

Wasn't that ripped off by Conan?
Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?

Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.

Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?

Conan: Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.

Mongol General: That is good! That is good.

>Mongolian population is 3,042,511
What the hell happened?

Funny sounds.

The Chagatai Khanate lasted longer then the Golden horde.

Are you sure this is not the Finn thread?

Don't forget motherfucking Khutulun: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khutulun

>Challenge all suitors to a wrestling match for your hand in marriage
>If they lose, they have to give up some of their horses.
>End up with 10,000 horses

No one ever beat her, either, so she ended up picking out a cute soldier and/or assassin and marrying him.

Don't you feel any Mongol guilt? I'm British and we get constantly told to be ashamed of what our ancestors did.

No, some people like our history even if theyre not from it, alot of nasty shit was done but normal people dont really know about that
