Born in the vast grasslands of Mongolia, the Mongolian Empire was built by the almost mythical military might of the Mongol Horde. Modern day nations it controlled include Turkey, Russia, Iraq, Iran, and China to name a few. The only countries within reach of the Horde that they could not conquer was Vietnam and Japan.

This documentary focuses on the peak of that empire, the reign of the Great Khan Kubilai. A map has surfaced in Japan, showing the enormous plot of Kubilai. He looked for a united world with no boundaries. This map also has the earliest recorded mapping of the entire continent of Africa.

Also shows the great diversity that the Mongol Empire had, and the great tolerance for various religions and cultures. Islamic, Chinese, Turkish, African, and numerous others rose to the top of this huge empire and joined Khubilai's inner circle.

This was before western culture became a force, and in this era the world's strongest nation was by far the Mongol Empire comprised of numerous ethnicities and nations. It is interesting to think what may have been if the empire continued.

  • @j0n52 it might be captured during the two attempt invation to Japan. The weather saved Japan in both. This video is interesting. Im Chinese, the music is Chinese music, but apparently the document was produced by Japanese. With English title. good document.

  • @donluchitti Well even then the Dark Ages were not so dark. It is very misleading to think Western Europe was not a foce at this time.

  • @j0n52 - well on the way to what? are you actually trying to act like i wouldn't know you are this paedo scab here for example,

    k.y.

  • @JustSomePerson888

    You are well on the way. Bon voyage!

  • @j0n52 - no, Kublai was more or less officially a Tibetian Buddhist. you have forgotten a key part of your evil child-molester conspiracy of satanists etc reasons for ruining the third reich and all else? kill yourself.

  • @JustSomePerson888

    Was it stolen from the monastery?

  • @j0n52 - no, it was found in a monestary, it says that in the video.

  • the largest empire

  • Western culture had already become a force with Rome and Alexander the Great, so the description that asserts that the West was 'not yet a force' is a little misleading. The West was in a period of the Dark Ages.

    I think you have mistaken "great" for "good".

    A man who has achieved something truly unique and remarkable is worthy of the title great man, but that does not have to include being good.
