I think Kublai Khan is a better ruler because he was not as rough as Ghengis Khan and I would prefer a not as rough leader. He found the Yuan dynasty. Finally, he wanted to complete his conquest to conquer China.

I agree with you Zack. He was much more less violent. I would prefer a less violent leader because really, do you want to see people playing soccr with peoples heads.

I agree with you Zack T. because Kublai khan was not as aggressive or deadly. Plus he did not have his men play soccer with the enemies heads.

There was a lot less blood too. He wouldn't steal (as many) women and have as many kids either.

I disagree with you Zack because Kublia Kahn wouldn't have been a ruler if it wasn't for Ghengis, He made everything happen, Kublia just carried them on. Plus Ghengis was violent, but that was what got them the most territory without even fighting.

Yea Zack, I totally agree with you. I mean I wouldn't want such a sick man leading my community. I understand times were different back then and what we think is crazy now, back then they thought it was normal. But still, human head soccer? Really? Now let's be honest, that's disgusting.

I think Kublai Khan was a better ruler than Genghis Khan.He improved trading by re-opening the silk road. He also conquered more land than Genghis Khan. And most of all, he wasn't so gosh darn cruel, so his empire flourished.

I agree with Savion. Since Kublai Khan was less cruel, his empire was more happy and cheerful rather than the horror and torture of Genghis Khan's rule.

I agree with you Savion. I agree with you because Kublai opened the road which improved his empire while Genghis Khan was so cruel that his empire flourished which was not a good thing.

I definitely think Kublai Khan is better. He was less cruel than Genghis Khan, and reopened the silk road, so trading grew in China. He also expanded a lot more land for his dynasty. >:3

I agree with you Giovanna because he was less cruel like you said. Also, he followed hes grandfather's footsteps by spreading China. But if he was as cruel as Ghengis Khan would you still think he's better?

I agree with you, because reopening the silk road helped China grow. Trading gave China more materials and money, which helped them become a stronger country. If the silk road had not been reopened, then trade would not have been as good.

I agree with you, Giovanna. Kublai Khan WAS less violent than Genghis Khan. Also, because he reopened the silk road, and trading grew, China was opened up to new ideas. Also, new ways of living, culture, inventions, and they were able to show their culture, and inventions, and ideas to the rest of the world. That allowed them to make changes, changes that would not have been made if the Silk Road was not reopened.

I think that Kublai Khan was the better ruler. Genghis Khan was cruel, and he killed many people in the land that he conquered. Kublai Khan did not kill everyone, and that is better because more people make an empire and its army stronger.

Out of the 2 Kahn's I think Ghengis Kahn was better because he started the great Mongol rule. Kublia may have taken over China, but that was because of Ghengis. Also he unified all the Mongol clans into 1 giant group, which he took over more territory than Rome in less time with less soldiers.

I disagree with you Danny because he was kinda the same person as Ghengis Khan but not as cruel. Plus Ghengis Khan has over 1,000 kids so one of them can take over his place.

I think Kublia Khan was better, because he wasn´t nearly as harsh as Genghis. I think it was good that he had reopened the silk road because they were able to trade easier then and brought in more money.

I think that Kublai Khan was a better ruler. I think that he was a better ruler because he re-opened the silk road. When he opened the road again it helped a lot with trading and stuff like that. Also Genghis Khan was more of a mean ruler.

I think that Kublai Khan was a better ruler than Genghis Khan. Why I think that is because he reopened the silk road so more people could go out and trade with other people and get the things they need. He was also a little bit nicer than Genghis Khan.

Kublai Khan was nicer than Genghis Khan. He didn't kill everyone in the city that he conquered. Kublai Khan was Genghis Khan's grandson. He was not the best leader, but better than Genghis Khan.

I think Kublia Kahn was definitely better. He improved trade by re-opening the silk road and conquered way more land than Ghengis Kahn. I think that Ghengis was more focused on who could get more goals in human head soccer than he was on actually conquering more land.

I think Kublai Khan was the best Mongol ruler because he was kinder than Genghis Khan. He also reopened the silk rode and tolerated Chinese culture, religion and government. Finally he also restored the Grad Canal, built highways and new palaces who encouraged trad.

I think Genghis Khan was better because he was very aggressive. Genghis Khan also conquered a big piece of china in 20 years.he was also a very aggressive ruler who played soccer with peoples head and who lead the greatest army of all time (in my opinion).He was also great at ruling the Mongolian army to defeat china.

I believe KUBLAI Khan, NOT KUBLIA khan, is the better one. First of all, he conquered China. 2nd, he was nicer and his dad ( which isn't saying much, though). Finally, he was the China's first non-Chinese emperor.

I think that Kublai Khan was the better ruler. This is because he was much less violent than his father, Genghis Khan. Because of this, many more lives were spared, and more families and generations were made. This is also because he reopened the Silk Road. Because it was reopened, trade increased, which allowed China to trade their ideas, and let them spread, and also let new ideas come to them. This can open China to new ways of life, and advancements in technology.

I think that Genghis Khan is better. He expanded his empire until he died. Mongolia was huge. During the time when Genghis Khan was alive, his army mastered horsemanship. They could shoot an arrow all the way around them while riding a horse very fast. I think they might have mastered these skills because Genghis Khan pushed them. After all, terror and fear was his greatest weapon. ( I would not want to be in his empire.)

I believe Kublai Khan was a much better leader. I believe this because he did not slaughter people just to own more land. All those innocent people were slaughtered, and even those who might be sick. Kublai Khan also reopened the silk road for more trade, money to those who need it, and not just for himself. He would give back.
