Mongol conquest of Western Xia

• ( Back to T:TDYK
• Article history )

Posthumous, 14th century Yuan Dynasty portait of Genghis Khan

• ... that Genghis Khan (pictured), founder of the Mongol Empire, died of an uncertain cause during his second, punitive campaign against Western Xia in China?

• Reviewed: Witnesses and testimonies of the Armenian Genocide
• Comment: Note to reviewer(s): The sources for this article contain numerous variations in names and spelling of names. They also contain variations in descriptions of military movements. Different sources omit different details, and most of them condense much of the order of battle. I've done my best to reconstruct the sequence of events, especially in the second campaign, by comparing sources and examining the locations of the geographic points described.

• 16px The author cites five books for the statement in the hook and I am unable to check any of them for myself. Still, the author is obviously an able researcher so I am going to AGF that the hook is accurate as it certainly is cited. The article is new, it is in alignment with Wikipedia policy, it is long enough, the nominator did proper QPQ, everything is interesting, and I feel that the article is a great contribution to Wikipedia because it documents a historical event which is part of the cultural heritage of most of the world.
