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

Like all of Genghis' primary sons, he participated extensively in conquests in Northern China and Central Asia.He was elected supreme khan in 1229, according to the kuriltai held after Genghis' death, although this was never really in doubt as it was Genghis' clear wish that he be succeeded by Ögedei.Most history textbooks skip from Genghis Khan, who was the first Great Khan to his grandson Kublai Khan (by way of Tolui), who was the fifth Great Khan, because their reigns and their conquests are more famous.
