Genghis Khan was a truly remarkable man and leader. He was a vicious warrior, as well as great strategist who defeated the mighty Chinese army with just 100,000 fighters on horses. He was also the leader of an immense empire that was inclusive and safe for its inhabitants. Now, at the National Military Museum in Soesterberg you can learn everything about him. “This exhibition shows not only what kind of warrior Genghis Khan was, but also tells you about the Mongolian empire, which stood at the cradle of modern society,” explains exhibition curator Dirk Staat. “It tells you about Khan’s military inventions, the Hussars, and about life in the empire.”
