April 9, 2021 – Letters from an American – (Me: a year of pandemic…)

The 1918 influenza pandemic killed at least 50 million people across the world, including about 675,000 people in the United States. And yet, until recently, it has been elusive in our popular memory. America’s curious amnesia about the 1918 pandemic has come to mind lately as the United States appears to be shifting into a post-pandemic era of job growth and optimism.

A year ago today, I noted that we were approaching 17,000 deaths from Covid-19. Now our official death count is over 560,000. If anyone had told us a year ago that we would lose more than a half million of our family and friends to this pandemic, that number would have seemed unthinkable.

Genghis Khan |

Genghis Khan (1162-1227 AD) was the founder of the Mongol Empire and his eldest son started the Yuan dynasty in China. In the Mongolian language Genghis means ‘great and powerful’ and Khan means chief or king. It was named after it unified all the tribes of the Mongolian prairie but its real name was Temujin, which historians think meant ‘fine steel’. Temujin was born into the family of a tribal chief but his father was poisoned by the Tartars when he was still a child. The family was then abandoned by their tribe and lived in poverty and had to go through many great difficulties living as nomads and without protection…

When Genghis Khan died in 1227, aged 72, his empire also included all of Central Asia, Iran, Pakistan, Korea and southern Russia, a territory four times larger than that conquered by Alexander the Great. .

He was a great strategist, showed exceptional ability in building alliances or isolating the enemy and showed great tolerance towards the traditions or customs of the conquered populations, provided they offered him loyalty. Along its territorial expansion, many religions such as Buddhism, Taoism and Islam were then introduced to Mongolia.
