In Asia Genghis Khan's dynasty and decendents who ruled the various Hordes. The Golden Horde, the Yuan, the Chagati Khanate, One of these descedents Timur the Great went on to found his own dynasty the House of Timur which went on to rule India known as the Mughals. Genghis Khan definatley had the most far spanning influence out of everyone in Asia. He and his desendents seem to have shaped much of Asia.

Even today he has 30 million desendents roughly I believe.

Does anyone know if the Manchus have any relation to the Mongols?

Timur's decendence from Genghis Khan is very sketchy, and probably false. However, his chief wife was directly decendent fom Genghis Khan. So through her the Mughals are decendents of Genghis Khan.
