What were the differences and similarities between kublai Khan and Genghis Khan?

Answer 1

Both Alexander the great (ATG) and Genghis Khan share numerous similarities. Both were exceptional tacticions as their diverse application of creativity and intellect during battle lead to legendary victories in which their armies were at a numerical disadvantage.

They are similar in the sense that both embarked on a journey to conquer vast lands, and both were motivated by the assasination of their fathers.

However, it is there in which the similarities end. Genghis Khan's upbringing was completely different when compared to Alexander's. Whereas upon Alexander's fathers passing he inherited his army, Genghis Khan built his army from scratch; due to the betrayal of his fathers right hand man in which Temudjin (Genghis' natural name) and his family were deserted. Also, although I believe it a mis-interpretation, Genghis' reign has been viewed as one of tyranny, compared to the herioc persona assigned to Alexander's

Genghis Khan conquered a great deal more land than Alexander.

Both of them surely best of the best ever. However, I like Alexander more. Many people would say that I'm insane saying that, but let me explain why cuz Alexander conquered 6/7 of the known world, meanwhile Genghis Khan 2/3.

Answer 2

Strange question becaUse I don't know what you're searching for. Kublai Khan was Genghis Khan's grandson. Genghis began his Empire with his tribe of Mongols and gradually melded all the tribes of the Gobi into a single unit, loyal to him. Before his death, he conquered the Chin empire (northern China) and large portions of Asia between China and the Black Sea, including a large and powerful Muslim Empire known as the Kharesmian Empire. After his death, his son Ogatai was appointed chief Khan (or Kha-Khan) and his generals and sons conquered most of what is Russia and had taken all of Eastern Europe from the headwaters of the Elbe to the Mediterranean Sea. They were poised to storm farther into Europe when Ogatai died. Genghis and Ogatai ruled from their capital (Karakorum) which is in the Gobi. Kublai became Kha khan later, and moved his capital from Karakorum to what today is Beijing. He became more Chinese than Mongol, and with his capital so far east, it portended the ultimate breakup of the central Empire. Still, Kublai ruled half the world until his death, and the Mongol Empire remained intact until the middle of the 14th century.

Kublai Khan is Genghis Khan's grandson. They are similar it a couple of ways. Both ruled large empires and both waged military campaigns that conquered much territory adding it to the empire.
