The leadership of the emperors who once commanded the world! We are proud to present the thirteenth installment of the <101 Days of World History Without a Map> series: <101 Days of World History Without a Map: Tales of World Emperors>. Since the dawn of humanity, there have always been people who fulfilled the role of 'leader.' Some led a single tribe, while others ruled over vast territories. Some inherited their authority, while others rose to power through war or revolution. Though the paths to becoming a ruler varied greatly, once someone ascended to the position of leader, they needed 'leadership' to govern effectively. Leading the masses requires not only practical strategy but also a high degree of empathy to earn emotional support. In other words, true leadership emerges only when 'wisdom, compassion, and will'—the ideal human virtues—are harmoniously balanced. This is why so many people still aspire to leadership today, and why we continue to remember great leaders. <101 Days of World History Without a Map: Tales of World Emperors> gathers stories of memorable rulers from world history and poses the question: 'What is true leadership?' This book selects notable emperors and rulers from each continent, examining their formative stories and achievements, and concluding with how they were judged by later generations. Notably, the stories of queens are gathered in a special section, allowing readers to explore 'women's leadership.' The book also covers chieftains of minority tribes who led their people without necessarily holding the title of king, so children can observe and learn from many different styles of leadership. We hope that through this book, children will come to see historical rulers as relatable figures and learn from them the value of 'leadership built on communication and harmony.' - A world culture and history exploration book that offers a comprehensive look at rulers from around the globe.

Was it you again?" "Sorry, brother. I was just so hungry." "Still, you ate it all by yourself?" Having lost his father, Temüjin (1162–1227) barely survived on fish and wild greens. One day, he grew furious with his half-brother. Sharing food was supposed to be the eldest son's privilege, and he was enraged that his brother had recklessly used up their food supply on his own. Unable to contain his anger, Temüjin killed his brother—yet he did not believe he had committed a grave sin. 'This was just punishment for violating the special rights of the eldest son,' the young Temüjin reasoned. This unforgiving nature would later become the foundation of the strict discipline within his army.
