IS KABLAI KHAN RIGHT FOR THE THRONE?
By Gabe Gerhske
Kublai Khan was the fourth son of Tule and the grandson of Genghis Khan,(the founder of the mongol empire). Kublai was Genghis Khans favorite grandson. As a young boy, Kublai would join his father Tule in battle and as Kublai became older his reputation in being a warrior grew. Kublai was only seventeen when his father passed away.Kublai Khan was one of the greatest mongol emperors and was the founder of the Yuan Dynasty. The war against the Chinese Song Dynasty was becoming a problem for Genghis Khan and he was willing to do anything to win the war. He was so desperate that he fought side by side with his fellow soldiers and he died doing so to the hands of the Chinese defenses. Kublai Khan was the next air for the throne but his younger brother did not want him to be the emperor because he wanted it for himself. His younger brother decided to do something about it so they fought for some time and Kublai Khan came out as the victor in 1264.
This reads like a history book. Where is your opinion in here? While there is good information about your "person", you need to read over the prompt/graphic organizer worksheet in order to set up this assignment. And, of course, do a final edit.
