Topic: Genghis and Hitler Posted: 27-Jan-2006 at 17:47 |
This thread is just another round on what seems to be the favorite
debate for a lot of members in tis Forum: "East vs West: who's the
best?".
This time the purpose is to know who was the biggest butcher of humans:
if someone from the West (Hitler) or if someone from the East (Genghis).
The West says Genghis, the East and the politically correct troop of the West say Hitler.
Is this all you can do with History?

What the Greeks considered the "known" or "civilised" world. By modern standards it would be like conquering everything except Greenland, Siberia, Canada and Antarctica. |
Genghis Qaan's "world" was much wider than that of Alexander's. Moreover, was Alex the Gay in China? Or do you think that China didn't belong to the "civilized" world?
PS: It is senseless to compare Genghis, the oceanic Qaan with Alex the Gay.

True but the Mongols practiced another form of discriminatory mass
slaughter. They utterly hated the peasant classes, reviling them as
lowly animals that scratched an existence from the dirt. Such people
were worthless compared to the proud steppe horsemen. Consequently they
were inclined to massacre them with little provocation or reason. Such
a thing was especially terrible in an age and place where most people
just so happened to be peasantry.

Jeez, Brian, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
At least one person on the group has a sense of humour. I was getting worried. I've only been back five minutes (having finally managed to conquer the deadly CompuServe in hand-to-hand combat) and I'm starting to feel like a leper already. Maybe I should start plastering "DANGER!! IRONY ALERT!!" over all my messages.
believe it was the Mongolian Genghis Khan who conquered China and Russia and installed Chinese as bureaucrats to help the Mongols govern Russia for a time...
I believe the German-governed BRITISH (not the people of Great Britain but the rich guys who by-passed so many worthies to find their first King George over in Hanover) governed/explored Russia via the Germans...
I believe further that it was the British/German/Russian Royal Family that sold the once German-governed-British-governed newly "independent" Americans some major real estate...

the line between genius and well lets say being a total psychopath is very thin.
I agree with you all the way. genghis khan is a legend. but he was cruel
its good to cruel I think when it comes to to these things. I've got no
respect voor Hittler & i've got nothing BUT respect for the great
KHAN.
but what a wanted to point out was that in history there is no wrong or right only victory or defeat.

excuse me but i think this is all bull. the only reason why people
admire genghis khan & not hittler is because hittler lost the war
,had hittler won the war he would be a heroe. Sad as it is history only
loves winners.

Ok, I'll stop talking about Alexander. Now let's move on to Chinggiz:
Chinggiz did not depopulate Asia. Do you have evidence to quantify the actual population decrease?
Some comparisons.
1. Barbarian conquest depopulated the Western Roman Empire far more
than Mongol conquest did to China. Civilization "collapsed" in western
europe. Civlization did not collapse in China due to Mongols.
2. When the Han Empire collapsed, heavy warfare ensued and population
declined 40-50%. This amount was greater than the amount of population
decline due to Mongol Conquest.
3. Julius Caesar slaughtered 1/3 of Gaul's population and enslaved
another 1/3. According to Paul Rat..(long russian name), the Jin Empire
lost about 20 million of its 70 million inhabitants during mongol
conquest, a percentage smaller than 1/3.
yeah, how come you dare comparing Alexander the civilized greek to that slanted-eye subhuman barbarian called Chingis... |
Lol I like how you used "Chingis" and not "Iron"-mujin
