Genghis Khan was born in 1162 in Mongolia and went on to unite the Mongol tribes and create the largest contiguous empire in history. He was raised by his mother after his father died when he was young. In 1206, he united the Mongol tribes under one rule. As leader, called Khan, he expanded the empire through conquest and tolerated other religions. When he died in 1227 at age 65, the Mongol Empire stretched from Eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan. His empire did not last, but he left a lasting legacy for Mongolia.

2. Genghis Khan was the man.
He lived a super great lifespan.
Born in eleven-hundred sixty-two,
His early life is without a clue,
But his dad did die when he was nine.
Yet little Gengi, he was fine.

3. His mommy raised him,
And taught him means of survival;
Little did they know of Genghis fate’s arrival.

4. Mongolia wouldn’t be here today,
If Genghis Khan didn’t say hey,
Let’s unite all the land
And make the biggest empire that’ll ever stand.

5. In twelve-hundred six,
Khan had the guts to intermix
All the tribes of the Mongols
Under one Khuriltai. (meeting).

6. It was an excellent achievement,
And his dad would’ve been proud
And definitely an adherent.
For this allowed
The Mongols to form a crowd.

7. Mongolia wouldn’t be here today
If Genghis Khan didn’t say hey
Let’s unite all the land
And make the biggest empire that’ll ever stand.

8. Temujin, Khan was declared.
He definitely wasn’t scared;
He was totally prepared,
To take on the dare.

9. Mongolia wouldn’t be here today
If Genghis Khan didn’t say hey,
Let’s unite all the land
And make the biggest empire that’ll ever stand.

10. Khan was tolerant of other
religions he dominated.
He cherished trade and rarely
alienated,
Unless one was to stand in the way,
Then they would be executed and
have no say.

11. He loved trade and crafts
Decided to start a written language
Left behind a legal code
But then all of a sudden, progress slowed.

12. Mongolia wouldn’t be here today
If Genghis Khan didn’t say hey
Let’s unite all the land
And make the biggest empire that’ll ever stand.

13. In twelve twenty-seven,
Khan died at the age of sixty-five.
He might have gone to heaven,
But his legacy is still well-alive.
Lands Khan ruled when he
died.

14. Mongolia wouldn’t be here today
If Genghis Khan didn’t say hey
Let’s unite all the land
And make the biggest empire that’ll ever stand.
