  • Mongolia at 800: US Views on Mongolia's Global Role
    Mongolia at 800: US Views on Mongolia’s Global Role Pamela J. Slutz United States Ambassador to Mongolia, 2003-2006 his year, Mongolia celebrates the 800th anniversary of the founding of the Mongol state; in 1206, a man named Temujin was proclaimed (Chinggis in T Mongolia; Genghis in the West) Khaan of the Mongol tribes and the first unified Mongol state. Over the next 90 years, Chinggis Khaan and his successors conquered a large swath of land (estimated at 11,500,000 square miles) stretching from Korea and China through Russia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, the largest contiguous land empire ever created. His successors ruled this vast empire, or parts of it, for over 200 years, a period sometimes called the “Pax Mongolica.” Chinggis Khaan—the man as well as his impact on the history of the world—has been and continues to be a controversial figure, either reviled or praised. Suffice it to say that historians—both Mongolian and foreign—will continue to debate his role in, and contributions to, world history and to the making of modern Mongolia. Bio-geneticists tell us that one out of every 200 males (and one out of every 12 Asian males) on earth today is a descendent of one single “patriarch” who lived about 1,000 years ago—and who was Mongol. This individual man’s Y-chromosome is today found in an estimated 16 million of his male line progeny in a vast swath of Asia from Manchuria near the Sea of Japan to Uzbekistan and Afghanistan in Central Asia.
