Japan's hilly landscape would be a huge disadvantage for the Mongal's, and this is also the main reason i think they could never have conquered Europe. -------------------- Many things which nature makes difficult become easy to the man who uses his brains.

It's pretty simple, they couldn't have. It was Genghis Khan who happened to arrive in the right time and the right place in a time of turmoil, while war-torn China already had conflicts between the Jin and Song dynasties and Europe was struggling. Once the Mongols were established, it became easy for them.

IMHO, the Mongol empire was a product of circumstance.

Are you deliberately trying to start another big Jerk debate scholar? lol

It would be really hard and stupid to compare Hannibal and Khalid to Ghengis Khan.

Im of the same opinion! However he did have one of the greatest grand strategist in history by his side, and that was the great Subutai, who in my opinion was a military genius.

If I remember correctly it wasn't Genghis that tried to conquer Japan in the first place, it was Kublai Khan. Also, if memory serves, it was only the "divine wind" that saved them...BOTH times. As for his ability, I think of him more of a medieval Mongolian

. Great leader of men, a great ruler of people, and...well, in order to conquer the vast territory he did in only 25 years...he had to have some knowledge of tactics, he couldn't have taken Subutai to every battle that took place.

Yes Ghengis Khan was dead around this time, i can't remember if it was Kublai or Ogodei that was the great Khan at this time.

I wasn't implying that Ghengis wasn't a great general and i don't think Shogun meant that either, we were just saying we don't consider him a military genius. Subutai was also in the campaigns in Mongolia, northern China, and Central Asia with Ghengis Khan.

I realize this, and I already told you it was Kublai Khan, not Ogodei.

Nope, it saved them BOTH times. You need to brush up on your history. The second occurred on the 15th of August, 1281 in the Genkai Sea.
