101 days of world kings without a map

Description

The leadership of world kings who commanded the world!

As the 101th part of the <101 Days of World Culture and History Series Without a Map>, we have planned and published <XNUMX Days of World Emperors Without a Map>.

Since the existence of mankind, there have been people who have played the role of 'leader'. They either led a tribe or ruled a very large territory. Some of them enjoyed hereditary authority, while others became leaders through war or revolution. Everyone had different backgrounds when they became kings, but once they ascended to the position of leader, they needed the 'leadership' that came with it to rule. Leading the public requires realistic strategies and a high degree of empathy to elicit emotional support. Literally, 'leadership' can only be achieved when 'knowledge, emotion, and righteousness', which we call the ideal human virtues, are properly harmonized. So even now, many people want to become leaders and never forget great leaders.

<101 Days of World Emperors Without a Map> collects stories of memorable emperors in world history and asks the question, ‘What is true leadership?’
This book selects the kings whose names have been exalted throughout history on each continent, examines their growth stories and achievements, and concludes with an evaluation by future generations. In particular, the stories of queens are collected separately so that 'women's leadership' can be seen, and the stories of ethnic chiefs who led a tribe even if they were not kings are also covered, so that children can see and feel various 'leaderships'. . I hope that through this book, children will feel familiar with the kings of history and learn ‘leadership that communicates and gets along with them’ from them.

– This is an exploration of world culture and history that looks at the kings of each country at a glance.
You can learn about the stories and cultures of kings from around the world by covering not only well-known Western kings but also lesser-known leaders of peoples around the world.

– This book introduces diverse leadership within each nation and culture.
It covers not only the kings who are remembered as 'sacred kings' in history, but also the stories of 'tyrants' who should be treated as teachers. In addition, it covers a wealth of aspects of kings that were misunderstood by later generations and parts that need to be reevaluated, so it will be an opportunity to view history from a variety of perspectives.

– This is the 101th historical and cultural book in the series <13 Days of World Cultural History Without a Map>.

Genghis Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty – founded the Mongol Empire with a common goal
“Where is the fish I caught? “Is it you again?”
“Brother, I’m sorry. “I did it because I was so hungry.”
“That’s right. “Are you going to eat it all by yourself?”
Temujin (1162-1227), who lost his father and was barely surviving on fish and wild vegetables, one day became very angry with his half-brother. It is his eldest son's privilege to share food, but he was angry at the fact that his younger brother dared to eat food without permission. Unable to bear it, Temujin killed his younger brother. However, he did not think that he had committed a major sin.
'This is just punishment for violating the special rights of the eldest son.'
The boy Temujin thought so, and this ruthless character later became the basis for the strict discipline he applied in his army. When Temujin was a young man, he was captured and taken prisoner by an opposing tribe, but escaped with his life and increased his power.
He succeeded in uniting the tribes who had been engaged in meaningless fights until then with a common goal of world conquest, and in 1206 he declared that he would call himself 'Genghis Khan' to symbolize the unification of the Mongolian people. Genghis Khan was a cruel and fearful fighter in battle, but he was a generous king in his rule.
He was a man with a strong sense of purpose, strong will, adaptability, and ability to learn. Rather than being stubborn, he tried to make a rational decision after listening to various opinions. So Genghis Khan enjoyed listening to advice from everyone, including his wife and mother.
Genghis Khan conquered from eastern Asia to parts of western Europe. This allowed merchants to travel safely across Asia, which was dominated by the Mongol Empire, and further promoted trade between China and Europe. Of course, Genghis Khan's tolerance for other cultures became the basis for East-West trade.

Montezuma II – Aztec emperor who destroyed the empire by mistaking a white man for a god
According to legend, the Aztecs were caught secretly eating fruit from the God's tree and were kicked out of their homes and wandered here and there, calling themselves 'Mexica'. The country's name 'Mexico' has its etymology here.
The Aztecs wandered through Central America and in the 1300s, they discovered and settled in a fertile valley in what is now Mexico. Those who were good at fighting drove out the indigenous people and established a kingdom in 1345 with Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City) as its capital. He then waited for the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl to appear in the form of a ‘bearded and white-skinned king.’
“A white-skinned prophet with a beard has appeared.”
In 1519, good news was brought to the Aztec king Montezuma II (2-1466). It was a message that the white god described in mythology had appeared from the east as prophesied. Montezuma II politely welcomed him and treated him with courtesy, offering him cocoa, a precious drink unique to the Aztecs. But he was not God, but Hernán Cortés, a greedy white man from Spain.
At first, Cortés enjoyed the treatment of Montezuma II with satisfaction. Then, when he began to suspect that the Aztecs might not be gods, he quickly fled. Cortes joined forces with other tribes that were dissatisfied with paying tribute to the empire and attacked Montezuma II, and Montezuma II tried to lure Cortes but was taken prisoner by him.
Montezuma II was beaten to death while seeking reconciliation between Cortés' demands to hand over the kingdom to Spain and the population's refusal to give in. At this time, Cortés escaped with his life and returned with a Spanish army to destroy the Aztec Empire. Montezuma II lost his life and ruined his empire by mistaking white people for gods due to his clumsy prejudice.
