Kublai Khan (1215-1294) was a Mongolian leader who made an impact on China, not only through conquest, but also by ruling successfully. Many of the rulers before him were brutally land-hungry and apathetic to the conquered people; however, Kublai challenged the stereotypes of Mongolian rulers by investing in his newly acquired people and providing the foundations of a grand empire. Unfortunately, after turning from his nomadic heritage and adopting Chinese manners, his Mongolian government failed to remain in control and was eventually overthrown by the Chinese."

1) Introduction: Introduce Kublai Khan
2) 1st Paragraph: North China Victory
3) 2nd Paragraph: Mongolian Reign
4) 3rd Paragraph: Yuan Dynasty Emperor
5) Conclusion: Summary

Answer 11

my teachers format requires a attention grabber in the beginning such as a one word sentence, quote, etc.

Answer 12

INTRODUCTION IDEAS, QUOTES, AND STATEMENTS:

1) Kublai Khan was a remarkable leader due to his exemplary performance during his time.
2) Kublai Khan was one of the most feared of his time.
3) Kublai Khan was one of the most admired of his time.
4) Kublai Khan was an exemplary leader who won great battles.
5) Kublai Khan created a legacy through his seizure of power.

Answer 13

ok thanks!

Answer 14

When you say one word sentence, quote, etc., do you notice that it contradicts? There is no such thing as a ONE WORD SENTENCE, or a ONE WORD QUOTE. I think you were trying to say an enticing sentence, or an enticing quote for the reader.

Answer 15

What would be a good thesis statment?

Answer 16

Answer 17

or @boomboom123

Answer 18

I am opposing the point that kublai was too chinese.. so i am reasarching how he balanced mongol and chinese ways.

Answer 19

so what would be a good thesis statement?

Answer 20

A good thesis statement is one where such statement defines your entire essay. The ideas I provided just now can be considered your THESIS, however a better THESIS would be one that includes what you want to talk about. So...

1) Kublai Khan was such a skilled leader due to his North China Victory, his Mongolian Reign, and achievement as a Yuan Dynasty Emperor.
2) Kublai Khan was an exemplary leader due to his North China Victory, his Mongolian Reign, and achievement as a Yuan Dynasty Emperor.
3) Kublai Khan was a supreme leader due to his North China Victory, his Mongolian Reign, and achievement as a Yuan Dynasty Emperor.

Answer 21

so i can say "I have no doubt that Kublai Khan did a supreme job on balancing chinese and mongol ways." Therefore I oppose what Kublai brothers said.

Answer 22

You can say that before or after the thesis statement. That is considered an opinion, not a thesis. It would be considered a supplementing statement or a supporting idea to the thesis.

Answer 23

can i change "i" to there is

Answer 24

?

Answer 25

Yes you can do that. Then you have to talk about his Chinese and Mongol ways. So, the first paragraph is either about one of his Chinese or Mongols ways, and so on for the second and third paragraphs.
