The Mongol Empire, founded by Genghis Khan and his successors, demonstrated consistent universalism by pursuing a policy of religious tolerance, devising a universal alphabet, and circulating internationally accepted paper money.
Mongolia found a pragmatic rather than an ideological solution and spread it to other countries.
The Mongols, through their conquest of the empire, created the nucleus of a universal culture and world system.
This new global culture continued to develop long after the end of the Mongol Empire and became the foundation of the modern world system for hundreds of years to come.
The republic, elections, public schools, postal systems, cannons, abacuses, and compasses, all of which we took for granted as European inventions, were in fact creations of the Mongol Empire.

This book reveals the truth about how Genghis Khan awakened Europe from its long slumber and formed a modern world system encompassing the entire Eurasian continent.

Genghis Khan and World History
The only permanent structures built by Genghis Khan were bridges.
Because to move troops and supplies more quickly, hundreds of rivers and canals would have had to be crossed.
As Mongolia opened its doors to the world, not only goods but also ideas and knowledge began to flow.
The Mongols brought German miners to China and Chinese doctors to Persia.
Some of these moves were monumental, others were minor.
They spread carpets wherever they went, transplanted lemons and carrots from Persia to China, and brought noodles, cards, and tea from China to the West.
They brought metalworkers from Paris to build fountains in the arid steppes of Mongolia, brought in British nobles to serve as interpreters for their armies, and brought the Chinese practice of fingerprinting to Persia.
He financed the construction of Christian churches in China, temples and pagodas in Persia, and Muslim Quranic schools in Russia.
The Mongols swept the globe as conquerors, but they were also unrivaled as transmitters of culture.

A series of family law reforms
Genghis Khan, having experienced firsthand the divisions surrounding the issue of legitimate children, declared all children, whether born by his wives or concubines, to be legitimate.
For the same reason, adultery was also prohibited.
In fact, the Mongols defined adultery differently from other ethnic groups.
This did not include sexual relations between a woman and her husband's close relatives, or between a man and his female servant or the wife of another man in the family.
In accordance with Genghis Khan's dictum that the affairs of the ger should be decided within the ger and the affairs of the steppe should be decided on the steppe, adultery applied only to relationships between married people of separate households.
Again, this relationship was not considered a crime unless it led to public conflict between family members.
