Brooke Gray March 7th, 2023 Highschool Genghis Khan Genghis Khan, originally born Temujin, was a Mongolian warrior who lived from 1162 to 1227. He is considered one of the most successful military commanders in history, having built the largest empire ever known. The Mongol Empire, under his leadership, stretched from modern-day Poland to Korea, and from Siberia to the Arabian Peninsula.

It was created and controlled by Temüjin, who adopted the title Ghenghis Khan, meaning universal leader, from 1206 up until his death in 1227 (Lewis, p. 1, 2002).

The Mongols were a powerhouse for a relatively short period of time from 1206 to 1279 by ruling the majority of Asia and eastern Europe leading to them becoming the largest contiguous empire in history.

It was also important that they were nomadic because the Mongols never really stayed in one place. However, the Mongols were never able to take control of India because the Himalayan mountains blocked their path.

Victory did not come to the one who played by the rules; it came to the one who made the rules and imposed them on his enemy” (Weatherford Modern World pg 8). There are many reasons why the Mongol empire was so strong. But one thing that they did that no other empire has done would be what they do with their enemies that they had captured.
