Would you want to be an emperor or not? Why?

What changes would you make if you where in Kublai Khan's position? Why?

What else did he do or was a part of?

      

      Kool Blah Khan was apart of a lot since he of course was emperor of china. One thing he was a part of was he helped lead military campaigns, and ended up exceeding his brother as the head of the emperor(don't we all wish we could take control over our brothers) and Genghis Khan and his poverty ridden self. He was apart of alot of things but these where one of the big ones.

Was he a leader to any certain group(s)?

                                                                                                                                                                       

     Kool Blah Khan was a part of many things but som more important than others. One was the Mongol people. He ended up gaining his title in 1260 (he is so ooollldddd). But the topper is after he gained this so called title he decided to name himself emperor of china. (how lame he should have gone with "The Mannn" or "Amazing geek"). I'm just joking but this is one group he was also a leader of.

Did he have failures as an emperor?

   
       Yes of course as all do. He wasn't perfect but he gave it all he had. One of his bigger failures was while helping lead a large military, the cost which was a severe burden on taxpayers and money was very important back then. They also sponsored 2 disastrous invasions on Japan which cost not only a lot of money but a lot of unneeded lost lives. I think this was unreasonable and harsh but wars where much more common then than now.

What was kool blahh khans influence on china?

Kublai Khan had many many many many many changes on China. He built new roads and new passage ways almast every day (in my opinion trying to make a giant maze!!!) There where many workers who helped expeccially public workers where of prime importance. He is also known for providing the very first public assistance program in china (man they have some catching up to do.)So as you can see the OLD Kool blaHH Khan must have done some good).

How did he die was there an underlying cause?

   The death of  Kublai Khan was determined to be from a drinking and staving condition of some such. Also there was an underlying cause it was also found out to be the loss of his wife and it was an extremely grieving time for him. So the cause of death was from drinking and starvation and the underlying cause was the loss of his wife.
