Genghis Khan, originally named Temüjin, was born around 1162 near Lake Baikal in Mongolia¹. His early life was marked by hardship; his father was poisoned by a rival tribe, leaving his family in a precarious position². Despite these challenges, Temüjin rose to power by uniting the fragmented Mongol tribes through a combination of diplomacy, strategic marriages, and military prowess².

In 1206, he was proclaimed Genghis Khan, meaning "universal ruler," and began his campaign to expand his empire¹. His military strategies were innovative and ruthless, allowing him to conquer vast territories across Asia and into Europe². Under his leadership, the Mongol Empire became the largest contiguous land empire in history³.

Genghis Khan implemented significant administrative reforms, including the establishment of a written language and a legal code known as the Yassa². He promoted meritocracy and religious tolerance, which helped stabilize and integrate his diverse empire³.

He died in 1227 during a campaign against the Western Xia dynasty¹. His legacy continued through his descendants, who expanded the empire even further³. Genghis Khan is remembered as a brilliant military leader and a unifier of the Mongol tribes, whose impact on world history is profound and enduring².
