Genghis Khan was born in 1162-1167 in Mongolia and became a powerful tribal leader and king. He united the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia and created the largest contiguous empire in history. Genghis Khan was a fierce warrior who conquered many lands through military victories but also established schools, cities, and shared his wealth with his people. He is still remembered today through monuments, places named after him, and for transforming Mongolia into a major power.
