Asian Conquests

 Asia before the modern times may have seen  boring and stupid.  There were still a couple of mammoth warlords that have had a very large impact on the history of the area.  One of these main men were Genghis Kahn.  Genghis lived in a normal tribe were he was the son of a war-lord emperor.  By diplomacy and wars he was able to unite the tribes of Mongolia and after doing this he had hundreds of very skilled horseman at his disposal.  Using these warriors he attacked tribe after tribe until he controlled all of Asia.  He died at the height of his empire and was the Alexander the Great of the Far East.  Another great man was Attila the Hun.   Attila was a great warrior who lead one of the largest barbarian bands in history.  Preying on the Roman empire he achieved great treasures until the Western Roman Empire struck revenge.  They untied all of the victims of Attila and they attacked him in a battle that left Attila looking weak and cowardly.  The last major ruler was Kublai Khan, Kublai was the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty and ruled over present day China and Mongolia.  During his rule he tried to invade Japan and greeted Marco Polo.  All of these exciting things happened in Asia so it really actually was a happening place.
