• Genghis’s legacy has been cemented by his
conquest of Khwarezmia, which is most of
modern Iran, along with parts of Afghanistan,
Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan
and Kazakhstan.

many as half of these mounted archers, and split
his army into smaller forces designed to conquer
more territory faster.
• He beat Caesar fair and square at the siege of
Gergovia, and the stage was set, after some 7
years of pitched battles, long marches and
sieges, for the Battle of Alesia, in 52 BC.

• Scipio was outnumbered here as well, by 43,000
to some 70,000, but he outmanouevered the 3
enemy generals every step of the way .
