Genghis Khan is often associated with the destruction of cities during his conquests, as he aimed to expand the Mongol Empire across Eurasia. While he did employ brutal tactics that led to the sacking of cities, his primary goal was to consolidate power and control trade routes. Interestingly, in many cases, he also sought to integrate conquered peoples and promote trade, indicating that his ultimate vision was not solely one of destruction but also of unification and prosperity within the empire.
