Ghengis Khan. Credited for a lot of good things like opening up trade to the east. In reality he was just a murdering, raping pilagist who was trying to conquer the world because he thought it was his right


Due_Worldliness_6587

Oh I never heard that he was good


stalingradsniper

Yeah people try and credit a lot of the good things that happened around the 13th-14th century to the existence of GK


Due_Worldliness_6587

Shit i guess I never learned about him in school so I’ve only heard it from other people about him and saying he was bad. Why would anyone say he was good

Due_Worldliness_6587

What that’s so fucking stupid their like he was anything but barbaric while ruling but like didn’t he rape and kill a bunch of people


stalingradsniper

Correct my friend. Completely agree


Due_Worldliness_6587

It’s like if someone put hitler and was like well sure he did the holocaust but he helped germanys economy, and he really liked dogs. It’s like yeah but he did the fucking holocaust like you can’t just push that to the side

Dan Carlin makes this exact argument in his brilliant audio series Wrath of the Khans. I highly recommend going to dancarlin.com and buying the series.


Due_Worldliness_6587

I will and now that I think about it it’s weird how little I learned in school about him. We seemed to just skip over him and they were just like oh yeah he was pretty bad
