The Louis XIV of the East

Bro exhausted his empire from so many conquests and attempted conquests. Sure he got Song taken care of and that was huge, and yeah he subjugated Goryeo.

But two failed invasions of Japan and like infinity failed invasion of Dai Viet cost him. Just like Louis XIV he overextended. He was incredibly successful, that’s undeniable, but all these wars led to lots of inflation and pointless loss of life (of course). Idk man, if I send tens of thousands of soldiers to invade an island nation and they get taken out by a storm, I’m calling it—that’s a bad omen. Tengri disapproves. Kublai really said, “I’ll do it again.”

Supposedly if the last male member of the Osmanoğlu dynasty died, then the Girays would take over the Ottoman Empire.

It's not a name, it's a title.

Genghis Khan, real name Temüjin was the founder of the Mongol Empire. "Genghis Khan" was his title, and "Chinggis Khan" is a closer romanization to said title in Mongolian.

He was not in any point of his life go by "Genghis" without the "Khan".
