I think Kublia Khan was a better ruler than Genghis Khan. I say this because he founded the Yuan dynasty and was the first foreigner ever to rule China. He also united China for the first time in 300 years. He was still violent like Genghis but was kinder. He allowed Chinese culture, government and religion. I would rather have a violent but kind ruler over a just violent ruler.

I can agree with Luke in a way. Its true that he did find the Yuan dynasty and was some what violent but I think being violent (towards other people beside him and the people he was leading) is a good thing because its helping his dynasty grow bigger and concurring more land.

I can agree for Luke. Uniting China after about almost 300 years of wars was a pretty good deal. Also allowing people's own religions was smart so not that not that many people would hate his rule and over throw him.

I can agree with you Luke because he did unite China for the first time in 300 years. I know he was less harsh but I think Ghengis but I think it was better to be harsh so that more of the people would lisen to you and you would have to loose less soilders.

I disagree with you Luke because Genghis Kahn was the one who conquered China so without Genghis, Kublia wouldnt have been able to do anything. Still Kublia was a much tamer ruler than Genghis which ment more trade which Genghis promoted through making the silk road safer for traders. So all im saying is that yes, Kublia may have been the nicer ruler but that doesnt make him the better ruler.

I agree with Luke, Kublia Khan wasn't as violent as Genghis Khan and he united China with peace. I believe he was a better ruler because of those reasons.

I think Kublai Khan was a better ruler then Genghis Khan.i think this because, Kublai Khan was the first non Chinese emperor in China.I also think that Kublai Khan was a better leader then Genghis Khan because, Kublai Khan wouldn't always kill everybody, he would sacrifice peoples lives, and he started the Yuan Dynasty!!!

I agree because he put his country into 1/3 of the world. That made him very powerful.

I see your point but Genghis was a better rulers than him. First he was not too bright thinking that her could conquer India but failed. He and his army got hit by a typhoon twice and lost most of his army.

I think Genghis Khan was a better leader. He was violent, but did it to be a good leader for his dynasty. He was violent especially when he made people watch him torchered other people, he did that to make them scared of him and his group. Also he concord 1/3 of the world.

I somewhat agree with you Delaney. Genghis Khan was really violent which might make him a better leader. He also conquered 1/3 of the world which also might make him a better leader. In my opinion, I would still want Kublia khan as my ruler because he was violent like Genghis but also kind.

I think Genghis Khan was a better leader than Kublia Khan. Genghis was violent which made people fear him. Also, there was a time where other tribes would surrender because they were scared of the Mongols.

I agree with you Jeremy. The non-stop fear he put into people was surely one of the main factors of why he was such a good leader. This also played into what you mentioned. The instant surrendering of people.

I think that Ghengis Kahn Was the better ruler because He made China's power over land much greater even though because he was such a vilolent ruler other countries saw china as a terrifying and powerfull country. Ghengis Kahn did promote trade by making the silk road much safer than it had ever been. He was stilll a violent ruler compared to Kublia but that also ment that people would be intimidated by him making less wars which ment more peace and advancements in technology.

I agree with Trenton since if you tried to defend against the Mongols, your town would be slaughtered, but other towns would be more peaceful towards the Mongols since they did not want to die. He also made China richer because the Silk road would be safer.

I agree with Trenton he ruled with a iron fist and was a very violent man. Just like it said in that poem about how he love killing and torture. But still he was good to his soldiers.

I agree with you Trenton because even though they tortured lots of people it was their of living. Also as you said it prevented war because form stories everyone was afraid to try to fight the Mongols because of he brutal stories they heard. I believe this led to no war leading to more advancements like you said.

I think Genghis Khan was the better ruler. I think he was the better ruler because he let people belive in their own religion as long as they paid him his taxes. He was also a good leader because they won many wars without weapons and conqured 1/3 of the world.

I think that Genghis Khan was the better leader, he united the Mongols while Kublai Khan did not since they were already united when he came to power. Though Genghis Khan was brutal, his brutality intimidated other people and soon they just surrendered when they saw them. That allowed Mongol army to minimize casualties for them, and the Mongol army remained strong.

I think Gheingis Khan was a better ruler because he was harsh. He would torture you to make you not want to fight and spread it on to other countries. You can sure tell he was a good ruler because he ruled 1/3 of the world. Even though he was harsh he was still good to his people. If one of his people got hurt he would torture the other empire.

I think that Genghis Khan was a better ruler than Kublai Khan. Though he was violent, he sort of opened a world of opportunity for his people. I mean come on, owning 33.3% of the world must have been pretty sweet! They could have learned so much from the people they conquered. Thus, with all of this land the Mongols are obviously the best clan of all time. This is because of 1 man... Genghis Khan.

I think Ghengis kan because yes, he was volient but he did it for the good of his people and conqered many land. Another reason that he was a good leader because he knew what was best for them.

In my opinion, I think that Kublai Khan was a better rule than Genghis Khan. Still brutally violent he was still kinder then Genghis Khan ever was. He let people practice their own customs too, which meant more types of religion flourished throughout China. It was also smart to still allow Chinese culture and religion, meaning that the people were more happy. If I were a Chinese citizen I think I would want to have a ruler that is kinder, so I have less of a chance of getting killed.

I agree Melle, he was a violent ruler. He was more nice than Ghengis Khan because he would let them practice their own religion. If they were conquered, as long as they payed him their taxes everything would be fine.

I believe that Ghengis Khan was a better Mongol ruler. Yes, Kublia Khan started the Yuan dynasty, But without Ghengis Khan, that probably wouldn't of happened. Ghengis Khan united all the Mongols, and conquered more land the anyone could.

I think Kublai Khan was a better ruler. I think that because he was the first foreign ruler. That is suprising to me because in the United States, you have to be american to be the president. It might not be the same thing but its still kind of weird.

I think that Genghis Khan was a better ruler in the Mongol dynasty. Although he was brutal he made the biggest land empire ever. His descendants spread his empire even further, until they fell because of what Japan called the Kamikaze.

I think Genghis Khan was a better ruler, mostly because of how successful he was compared to Kublai Khan. First Kublai Khan was worse because he lead to the end of the mongol dynasty, by thinking he can attack Japan, he could attack and win but twice in a row those typhoons. Also Genghis Khan conquered over 12 million square miles of land.

I think the Genghis Khan was a better leader. I think this because he united all mongols and conquered 1/3 of the world. This brought the mongols stronger and closer together. Since all other people were afraid of he made because of the brutal stories they heard everyone left them alone making it easier for the Mongols to run it the way they wanted to and focus on advancements like the Silk Road. Thats why Genghis Khan was the better leader

I think Genghis khan because he was the first to truly put fear into others eyes but for a good reason. Also United all the Mongols. Then took over 1/3 of the world.

I think want Genghis because he concurred a third of the world which is a blog chunk of land. Also he scared others so that they would be scared of him and run away. There was lots of stories about him, most of them were true. For an example he would play "soccer" with people's heads to scared enemies. He united the mongols and made them stronger as a team.
