Tamerlane the Turk. Did he conquer "the Ming dynasty"? In the long run of history from then, it is not clear that he did not. I have a son named Tarken which you will find spelled Tarkan across Turkey. I have a grandson name Sebastian [aka Wai Ying] born in England but descended in part from the mists of Mongolian and Turkish historical ancestry. The human world is a happy mish mash of all that has gone before, with borders falling constantly to the integration of genes from around the world. I have artifacts [vases and other works of art] from China which look decidedly Mingish, including one now in the possession of Wai Ying's parents. Culture flows like genes. Descendants of Tamerlane buy my CDMA/OFDM mobile Cyberspace technology around the world. Tamerlane did this that and the other, and the history of what he did reverberates down through history. It's all a matter of what you mean by "conquest". In the short term garden variety sense of conquest of the day, it was not a conventional conquest, but these things are not so simple viewed from a long time later. Inspection of my DNA shows a spread all over the place including across north Africa, the middle east and a patch from Calcutta. Inspection of Wai Ying's DNA would show a far broader spread through China and I guess through Mongolia and elsewhere. My CDMA conquests cover much of the world and with Globalstar includes pretty much everywhere. ElMatador is "in the family", so is TJ. Go back another few thousand years and so is pretty much everyone. ElM thinks of life in terms of Brazil versus the rest. TJ touts the wonders of the Han, Hakka and "the Chinese way". But those are trivial perspectives. Marriage trumps power. Meanwhile, Edward Snowden has joined "our side" = the individual versus the Totalitarian Serf-State. guardian.co.uk. And Tamerlan the Boston Bomber tries a modern conquest.
