GENGIS KHAN

GENGIS KHAN attempted to achieve a globalization in the twelfth century. He was the first to succeed unifying Mongol tribes and mobilizing them for a ceaseless conquest of Chinese, Indian, Islamic and Christian Worlds. He was so brutal that he became a prototype of a mass murderer [ 40 millions killed  according to recent assessments]. He destroyed the Arab Empire that was at the time an outstanding civilization. Nevertheless, he realized afterwards all the benefits of scientific, technical and artistic knowledge for the well organized and lasting global Empire he was building. This shift in policy, developed a huge network of interactions between distant cultures, leading to synergies between their respective products and innovations. By securing the Eurasian Silk Road, he improved commerce and exchange institutions in a way unseen so far. That’s why he played a decisive role for the Renaissance and then for the making of the Modern World.
