Why was Tolui's brother Chagatai considered ineligible to succeed their father?
Illiteracy
Incompetence
Excessive arrogance
Poor health
Answer
**Chagatai's excessive arrogance made him an unsuitable heir to his father's empire.** Despite being a skilled military leader, his haughty demeanor and quarrelsome nature alienated potential allies and sowed discord among his subordinates. His brothers, Ögedei and Tolui, were deemed more capable and diplomatic, making them preferable choices to succeed their father, Genghis Khan.
