Part II - The rise of Genghis Khan and the fools who pissed him off: Episode 17

Ready for a wild ride through history with the original bad boy of the steppes? In this episode, we dive into the epic rise of Genghis Khan and the absolute madness that ensued when Aladin Muhammad II of Khwarazm decided to poke the bear. Spoiler alert: it didn't end well for him.

Temujin, who you may know better as Genghis Khan, didn’t just build an empire with sheer brutality—he also used cunning diplomacy and a meritocracy that would make modern HR departments weep with joy. Imagine an army where your promotion isn’t based on who your dad knows but on how well you can swing a sword or shoot an arrow. Revolutionary!

We’ll unravel the tale of Genghis’s elite team of generals, the “Dogs of War,” and their relentless campaigns that turned fortified cities into ash. From the deserts of China to the heart of the Khwarazmian Empire, Genghis Khan showed the world that messing with the Mongols was a fast track to a very bad day.

So saddle up, history buffs! This isn’t just a history lesson; it’s a full-throttle adventure through the cunning, chaos, and conquests that defined the Mongol Empire. Don’t forget to hit like, subscribe, and leave a review on Spotify. And remember, if you can’t be good, be good at it.
