No ruler until Stalin and Hitler was as murderous and genocidal as Genghis Khan though.

What about Tywin Lannister?
>>
>>857574
If you import a number of people of different culture and race into your lands, and then interbreed with them, your culture and people's will be slowly be eroded away. In a sense it's reverse assimilation. An Irish immigrant coming to America forgets the traditional dishes of Ireland and comes to love Burgers. In contrast, a Mexican immigrant coming to America may come to hate the burger and cause Americans to grow fond of the Taco. In a sense the traditional culture has been weakened and reduced. What makes it genocide is the idea that the weakening of cultural bonds is seen as a long term goal of certain elites out of malice towards the current dominant race and cultural system.

If you can rationalize Khan killing civilians as in >>858808 then you can easily do the same with Stalin and Hitler. All the people they killed were threats to the stability of their countries.

Technically they did, if you believe the Mughal emperors claims of being the "direct descendants" of Genghis Khan.
But the culture was more of a persianate society, as shown in their architecture when they built the Taj Mahal and alot of other fancy stuff.
>Egypt
You can thank the Mamluke sultanate for that, which basically were muslim turkmen loyal to the remaining surviving Abbasid bloodline that knew all the steppe tactics so they knew how to warfare against the invading mongol tumens unlike the rest of the locals.

Napoleon wasn't a bad guy though, except to maybe the eternal anglo.

>Technically they did, if you believe the Mughal emperors claims of being the "direct descendants" of Genghis Khan.
The Mughals did not claim, nor want o be associated with Genghiz Khan, nor the Mongols, who were barbarians to their eyes.

They claim descent from Timur and stop there.
>>
>>858920
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mughal_Empire
>The Mughal emperors were Central Asian Turco-Mongols belonging to the Timurid dynasty, who claimed direct descent from both Genghis Khan (founder of the Mongol Empire, through his son Chagatai Khan) and Timur (Turco-Mongol conqueror who founded the Timurid Empire).
>>
>>858882
Timur was a pretender to the Mongols, he had no real decent.

>"If the Mongol race were a race of angels, they would still be an abominable nation;
>And were the name of Mongol written in gold, it would be odious."
Baburname, Babur's autobiography.

This was the 1500's. Mongol is a byword for "Barbarism" for a dynasty that sees itself as the flowers of Islamic Persianate Aristocracy.

The Mughals themselves were basically the Persians/Turkics/Turko-Mongols who chose to follow Babur around. They weren't a race.
>>
>>858689
Anon, you know burgers weren't invented in America, right? They were brought to American by German immigrants. How is that any different from Mexican immigrants bringing Tacos to America?
>>
>>859090
Again, I said "technically" as in if you have that perception. Since Baburs mother was a descendant of Genghis Khan and the language he used to write the Baburnama in was chagatai used by the mongolian Chagatai khanate which implied his cultural ties with them.
What ethnicity, race and creed he identified as is up to him since he really never added anything to the Mongol empire anyways since it was long gone and only fragments remained.
>>
>>859213
>>859090
M8's, back then people usually divided the dynasty from the "nation." Especially when the dynasty came from perceived barbarians. Since dynasties usually cross borders and rule over more than one race.

In China for example, Genghiz Khan was considered a barbarian nig while Kubilai Khan is beloved and is considered a Chinese Emperor as well as Mongol Khan.

Ottomans preferred being called Ottoman while Turk is an insult for them as it evokes images of yurt-dwelling unwashed horseniggers.

Shit is similar in Europe. The Plantagenets are not "French" nor "English" they're Plantagenets. European dynasties would only start associating themselves with their subjects in partly the early 1500's and fully by the 19th century.

There's a reason why nation-state ideologies are pretty mean to monarchies usually.
>>
>>858904
He was bad for the powers of the time, ie. the monarchy why do you think the entirety of Europe banded against him. Napoleon also realized that the monarch powers never would let him be, thus the endless campaigns.

All Empires were exercises in Multiculturalism.

If you are an "Empire" consisting of just one race & culture...you're not one.
>>
Genghis Khan’s united Mongol nation formed the foundation of the largest continuous land empire ever known. A wise statesman, Genghis also established Mongolian-style democracy that respected the ethnic and cultural diversity of his Empire. His government left many long-lasting legacies:

Literacy and official record-keeping began with the first written Mongolian script, created by adapting the alphabet of the Uighur people of western Mongolia.
Councils of leaders and a “cabinet” of advisors drawn from different tribes and nations were held to establish policies and make decisions.
Laws and directions, referred to as the Great Yasa, defined Mongol behavior.
Religious freedom was extended to all denominations in the belief that the support of religious leaders would foster good relations with the people.
Civil Service appointments were based on merit, regardless of nationality or connections.
International passports provided protection for the diplomatic representatives of any nation, facilitating safe passage and trade.
Rapid communication depended upon the Yam, an efficient mounted messenger service.
>>
>>863664
How about Empires where cultures other than the dominant one are enslaved, castrated, worked to death and replaced?
>>
>>863689
Still an empire since it recognized the fact that there is a periphery that is culturally disticnt.

Albeit one that doesn't last long.

They didn't implement multiculturalism, they found themselves in control over a multicultural empire and tried to impose the dominant culture where they could. An example might be the mixing of Persian and Hindustani languages under the Mughals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urdu

Multiculturalism is a great meme to troll racists, but it is irrational, no one with a triple digit IQ unironically preserves bad ideas from a culture just because it is from that culture, so...

as a whole sure.

but those 'fragments' were pretty successful on the long run

Yuan dynasty was the "most" successful and it too was also extremely short-lived in China. Face it, after Genghis and Kublai's times, the Mongols just continued to regress and fragment.

Alexander and Genghis were the best examples.
