Genghis Khan (c. 1162 – August 18, 1227) was one of the world most powerful military leaders ever, who joined with the Mongol tribes and started the Mongol Empire. His children and his grandchildren etc. passed down his throne and started the largest empire in the world.
Genghis Khan's grandson, Kublai Khan, was the first ever emperor of the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368) in China. No one knows where the burial site of Genghis Khan is. He was a Mongol Emperor who was very successful in battle, killing many enemies, such as the Jin Dynasty. He was a very strong and powerful Emperor who occupied much of China and the some surrounding countries of China.
Genghis Khan was not born with the name Genghis; he was actually born with the name Temujin. After being a very successful tribe’s leader and conquering a lot of land, people referred to him as Genghis, meaning “Universe ruler”. Over the next few decades Genghis led a massive military campaign conquered vast areas killing many people, giving him a reputation in the history books as a 'brutal monster'.
