"A generation of proud Genghis Khan, only know how to bend the bow and shoot the big eagle", Genghis Khan is also called Temujin, a Mongolian beggar. Khan of the Great Mongolian Empire, an outstanding politician and military figure in the history of the world. He and his descendants carved out the world's largest country at the time, a very talented monarch, but he was embarrassed after his powerful death, because there have been questions about his "nationality" in later generations, and all three countries have said that Genghis Khan is a man of his own country.
The first is Mongolia, which is a typical landlocked country with a not very developed economy and a very large population, but it does have a lot of say in the issue of Genghis Khan's "nationality". Genghis Khan is indeed a Mongol, but the Mongols are not only found in Mongolia, but also in China. Mongolia has always regarded Genghis Khan as their great hero, and statues of Genghis Khan can be found everywhere, and Genghis Khan was indeed born in what is now Mongolia.
But China disagrees with this view, although Genghis Khan was indeed born in Mongolia, but his main area of activity is in China, he has been active in China for most of his life, and Mongolia has only become independent from China in modern times. And the Chahar Department that can truly symbolize Genghis Khan is in the Inner Mongolia region of China, so Genghis Khan is a Chinese Inner Mongolian.
The Russians couldn't sit still when he heard this, and he said, "Don't quarrel between your two countries, Genghis Khan is neither Mongol nor Chinese, but Russian." There are two reasons why Russians dare to say this. First of all, Genghis Khan was born in Russia (one says in Mongolia, disputed), and he did not establish the Yuan Dynasty when he conquered various places, he was not the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, but the monarch of the Great Mongolian State, he was not Sinicized. Second, Genghis Khan gave the Golden Horde to his son Shuchi, who laid the foundation of the Muscovite Principality, the Muscovite Principality took the initiative to help Shuchi collect taxes, and patted the Golden Horde, and then the Muscovite Principality became more and more powerful, began to annex other countries, and finally annexed the Golden Horde, which was the predecessor of Russia, so Russia's Genghis Khan and his descendants were Russians.
Although Mongolia, China and Russia debate about Genghis Khan's "nationality", the mainstream international view is still that Genghis Khan is the Chinese. Why? There are several main reasons.
First of all, Genghis Khan and his descendants mainly operated in China, and his descendants established the Yuan Dynasty, which was also in China, and Genghis Khan's Great Mongolian State was the predecessor of the Yuan Dynasty. Second, the descendants of Genghis Khan lived mainly in the Inner Mongolia region of China, which is currently the largest Mongol settlement in the world, and also uses the Mongolian script and language. Although Mongolia now speaks Mongolian, the language they use has long since changed, not so much Mongolian as Russian Cyrillic script.
I think Genghis Khan belongs to China, because China has the richest historical data and records about Genghis Khan, and the Yuan Dynasty established by his descendants is an orthodox dynasty in China and an indispensable part of Chinese history, so I think Genghis Khan is Chinese.
