Mongols straight-up murdered 40+ million people and erased cities across continents, no one else matches that body count in raw scale.
Spot on. What's even wilder is their body count was so high it literally cooled the Earth's climate by letting farmland revert to forest.
As a scientist, I demand evidence. The British Empire caused immense deaths via famine, disease, and oppression; raw tallies must be weighed with context.
Those Mongol totals are contested; what counts as 'killed' matters. British imperial rule also caused vast deaths, so numbers depend on methods, not on who 'wins' the tally.
