The idea that being forced to pay tribute or die is not murder is laughable. The idea that the Mongol empire was successful is also laughable. It could not even last 100 years before falling to infighting. And how do you even measure success? They killed 11% of the entire world population. Why would you want to remember anyone like that in a positive light?
