Judged in the context of his time, hardly evil at all. Its pretty hard to find a empire builder that doesn't have blood on his hands to the elbow, if not the armpit. At least Genghis left some kind of infrastructure in place, unlike a real butcher like Tamerlane, who just slaughtered everthing in sight, piled the skulls up outside cities and held parties.

. . .was he any more bloodthirsty than Alexander the Great? The worst place to be on Planet Earth was between Khan and whatever he wanted. Probably one of the most underrated historical figures in the West due to our occasional Ethno-Centrism. This guy killed more people than smallpox and might be one of the true creators of psychological warfare. But his success makes him a target for an all-time 'evil' list. . .is he any more or less evil than the famous Pharos?

Genghis' parents would send him out to scrounge around for food such as truffles, rutabegas, parsnips, and roots of all sorts. Put yourself in his place, you'd have been mean too!

whoever put up this is an idiot. yes, he killed may people and even his brother but back in this time period it was accepted. this means that genghis khan was nto evil, he was just like everyone else. the only difference is tat he had power.

He was more of conqueror than a dictator. According to GenghisTheHun (a.k.a GTH), he "had A.D.D. and was just misunderstood."
