By contrast to him, we're not that bad at all.
Actually no he didn't. For one China was going through one of its regular lperiods of ossification before he invaded, for the other he went west because thecruler of Khwarezm had a trade delegation and embassy he sent to them killed, an aggressive act of war in those days. While I'm not saying Temuchin was all sweetness and light he was simply better than anybody else as a conqueror in his day, and in places like Mongolia he has the reputation of a Charlemagne, for the same reason, he built up his own country, sponsered scholarship and founded places of learning.
