he is being downvoted for the same reason this article exists, pc culture doesn't like being corrected. There is a war against historical accuracy for the sake of adding in women or random races that wouldn't be there.

The annoying thing is that it makes no sense to do this because there are plenty of non-male or non-white leaders to pick from anyway.

My favorite empire is the Ajuuran sultanate that was a very powerful african sultanate in modern day somalia. It traded as far as china and it had many victories over great powers like portugal.

A great female leader that actually existed was queen boudica, one of the greatest celtic anti-roman rebels. She led her people and dealt a lot of damage to the roman invaders before she inevitably lost to the chads that are the roman legions.

Rather than blackwash or add in random women we can just look to the parts of history that already contain that.

What portion of this article do you believe is inaccurate?

[mrcheesebreeze]

the main claim that borte ran the mongol empire, she didn't. She was a great help and most great leaders had amazing wives who helped them.

Despite this her actions were greatly inflated by the title and main claim.

[foobarian]

Running an empire is a lot different than leading it. It's like COO and CEO, Sandberg and Zuck.

Too bad that in reality her role would be more of executive assistant by those standards.

I'd take every claim in this article with a grain of salt. There simply isn't much documentation from that time in the Mongol empire.
