So I was reading this book Genghis Khan's Greatest General: Subotai the Valiant, when I came across this sentence:

Unless you're interested* in Mongolia, not really. It only serves for maybe a nationalistic post. Other than that, you just need to know that Subotai was an awesomely brilliant general and the only foreign conqueror of Russia in history (arguably he wasn't even foreign).

*In that case, I could recommend a whole bunch of books. Few of which I've read lol. I'm so behind on reading.

The Schwerpunkt is a military doctrine. So is Vernichtungsgedanke. Unfortunately, both are overshadowed by the catch-all 'Blitzkrieg.'

And it's not my fault I'm responsible for Genghis Khan's victories. Geez.

Using dead people who were famous is a good way for nationalism.

See wht happened with Kim Il-Sung? And Nelson Mandela? the People turned them into iconic images and are now seen as the "faces" of said nations.

Using maybe not Ghengis cause that wouldn't go over well, but maybe another respected Mongloian and bullshitting your citizens that you're modeling Mongolia after his image is a good way to boost morale.

Always always always remember, that if you have a face or image of power, you can boost the morale of an entire nation.

I understand. :lol: North Korea is the main example. Big pictures of Kim Il-Sung on buildings and stadiums. Featured in the mass games too. Not to forget eternal President.
