Genghis Khan "reduced" the world's population by 11%? I think this data is more reliable.
Genghis Khan was a favorite conqueror of foreigners, because his iron horse once rode across Eurasia and made the whole of Europe tremble.
But I see people who often say that Genghis Khan killed 200 million, or more than 100 million people, and I think it's too unreliable.
In the time of Genghis Khan, the Mongols were not particularly large, and in fact occupied 22% of the world's territory, which was gradually expanded by his descendants.
More importantly, according to historical data, the world population at that time was less than 400 million, and if Genghis Khan killed 200 million, what was the concept?
He killed half of the world's population!
This is simply not possible.
So I think it's reasonable for foreign media to say that although the exact number is difficult to determine, historians estimate that in the process of expansion, he caused about 40 million deaths.
