Historians don't care about such a distinction, of course. Was Genghis Khan lucky when he conquered half the world?

  I mean, read his Wiki entry, and you’ll discover he got a really nice coat as a wedding present, which he regifted to a powerful patron. You can decide if that’s a touch of luck. I’m sure he had a few near misses in combat with an element of luck, too.

    That's exactly what I mean by my point, it's not all luck, of course it was his skill in uniting the tribes which none had done before.

      It is not all luck, correct. Some of it is luck. Often quite a bit.
