Genghis Khan (1162-1227) was a Mongol leader who rose from a humble background to become the emperor of the largest continuous empire in history. He conquered large regions of Central Asia and China after uniting the nomadic tribes of the Mongolian Plateau. After his death, his descendants expanded the empire’s boundaries even further, until it stretched to places such as Poland, Syria, Vietnam, and Korea. At the height of their power, the Mongols ruled over 11 to 12 million contiguous square miles, which is an area approximately the size of Africa.

Genghis was able to unite the small tribes and begin to conquer Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Europe. During his time of leadership he quickly conquered land, socially reformed, and made great economic gains for the Mongol empire.

Throughout human history, man has strived for power. It is an unquenchable desire which has led many great rulers to success and defeat. When thinking of powers which dominated the world, the Roman Empire, Napoleon’s Army or even the time at which Great Britain was considered the center of the world, come to mind. These rulers/nations were all great and all, at one time, had vast amounts of power at the expenditure of their use. However, all of these empires fall short in comparison to the Mongols quest to conquer the World. Though their reign was short, the Mongolian empire was one of the largest empires to spread across Southern Asia. Led by the furious Genghis Khan, the Mongols swept across Asia and conquered countless nations. One of the most profound innovations of the Mongols was their effectiveness in battle. Their well-developed strategies and innovative ideas pushed the Mongol campaign very deep into Asia. As a result, many cultures were lost to the Mongols during their military campaigns.
