Many people in the Western world believe that Genghis Khan came from Mongolia. The Mongols are the people from present-day Mongolia and the Mongol Empire is the empire which was founded by Genghis Khan. But this is misleading because it gives people the wrong idea of where Khan came from. Genghis Khan was a warlord in Northern China. The Mongols were not an ethnic group, they were a people that were made up of various ethnic groups. He was not born in Mongolia, but rather in the Khentii mountains of present-day northern China. <br><br>This may come as a surprise to you, as you may have thought that Genghis Khan came from the Mongol steppe of present-day Mongolia. However, it is true that the Mongols were never a stable ethnic group, but were a people made up of many ethnic groups. This is because the Mongols were not a nation state, but rather a collection of tribes who were united by Khan. The Mongols were not the same people who lived in present-day Mongolia, and many of them were of Chinese and Tibetan origin.<br><br>It is worth noting that the Mongols did not come from the Gobi Desert. This is a myth that was invented in the 17th century by the Manchu Dynasty, who wanted to erase the Mongol Empire from Chinese history. The Mongols were never a desert people, and they were always a steppe people. The Mongols were a nomadic people who lived in the northern Chinese steppes, and they were not a sedentary people who lived in cities.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>It is also worth noting that the Mongols did not conquer China. The Mongols conquered northern China, but not southern China. The Mongols conquered many northern Chinese dynasties, including the Western Xia Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. However, they never conquered southern China, where the Song Dynasty was ruling at that time.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>In summary, Genghis Khan was not a warlord from Mongolia, but a warlord from the north of China. The Mongols were not an ethnic group, but a collection of ethnic groups. And the Mongols were not a nation state, but a collection of tribes who were united by Khan.
