=Genghis Khan=

Genghis Khan was born in Mongolia around the year 1155 AD. He married at the age of 16, but had many wives during his lifetime. At 20, he began building a large army with the intent to destroy individual tribes in Northeast Asia and unite them under his rule. Genghis Khan was born in North Central Mongolia and named "Temujin" after a Tatar chieftain that his father, Yesukhei, had captured. Young Temujin was a member of the Borjigin tribe and descendant of Khabul Khan, who briefly united Mongols against the Jin (Chin) Dynasty of northern China in the early 1100s.According to the "Secret History of the Mongols"Temujin was born with a blood clot in his hand, a sign in Mongol folklore that he was destined to become a leader. His mother, Hoelun, taught him the grim reality of living in turbulent Mongol tribal society and the need for alliances.

He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia. After founding the Mongol Empire and being proclaimed "Genghis Khan", he started the Mongol invasion that would result in the conquest of most of Eurasia. These included raids or invasions of the Kara-Khitan Khanate, Caucasus, Khwarezmid Empire, Western Xia and Jin dynasties. These campaigns were often accompanied by wholesale massacres of the civilian populations – especially in Khwarezmia.

By the end of his life, the Mongol Empire occupied a substantial portion of Central Asia and China. He was successful – the Mongol Empire was the largest empire in the world before the British Empire and lasted well after his own death. Genghis Khan died in 1227 soon after the submission of the Xi Xia ,the exact reason is uncertain. Some historians maintain he fell off a horse while on a hunt and died of fatigue and injuries. Others contend he died of respiratory disease. Genghis Khan was buried without markings according to the customs of his tribe, somewhere near his birthplace close to the Onon River and the Khentii Mountains in Northern Mongolia. According to legend, the funeral escort killed anyone and anything they encountered to conceal the location of the burial site, and a river was diverted over his grave to make it impossible to find.
