Genghis Khan: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

'''Genghis Khan''', born '''Temujin''', was the founder and Great Khan (emperor) of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his demise.

He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of Mongolia. After founding the Mongol Empire and being proclaimed "Genghis Khan", he started the Mongol invasions that resulted in the conquest of much of Eurasia.. These campaigns were often accompanied by wholesale massacres of the civilian populations – especially in the Khwarezmian controlled lands. By the end of his life, the Mongol Empire occupied a substantial portion of Central Asia and China. ~~Because of the death toll and methods used by Genghis, Genghis Khan and the Mongols he controlled are viewed in most of the lands he conquered as monsters.~~

At a battle with the Tayichud, an arrow struck his neck, which would have killed him if it hadn't been for a man swallowing the rushing blood. The relationship with Toghril deteriorated into a series of battles and raids between the 2 forces until Genghis defeated Toghril in 1203 and Toghril fled to Turkestan.
