Before the rise of Genghis Khan—before the battles with samurai and the siege of Baghdad—the Mongols were merely one of many nomadic peoples enduring life on the periphery of powerful Chinese states. But the Mongol mode of living, beliefs about the world, and acquaintance with war turned them into relentless, elite warriors. This is the beautiful, cruel, and hardcore world that created the Mongols, and planted the seeds of an empire. Thank you to ‪@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory‬ for guidance on sources and script feedback
