Chingis Khan (1162-1227)
Chingis Khan was the greatest ruler in the Mongolian history. He was originally named as Temuujin and he was from a noble background. In 1206, Temuujin became the king and earned his name as Chingis Khan, by uniting all the separated tribes into one nation and he called it Mongols. His great ability to lead his army and his smart tactics on the battlefield led him to greater conquest than just becoming the king of Mongols. His army was mostly horseman and horse archers which gave him advantage of traveling much farther places with short amount of time. One of his best strategy on the battlefield was use his enemies fear to submit them. After his death Mongols expanded from East Europe all the way to Korea, and half of Russia to south of East Asia. Before he died, he divided his territory to his four sons (Zuch, Tsagaadai, Ogoodei, & Tului) and a pointed Ogoodei, the third son, as a next king of Mongols. Chingis Khan died on August, 18th 1227, but he lived through his sons and grandchildren to continue what he has started. Until this day nobody is sure how he died and even where he was buried. Chingis Khan made a history that could never be repeated by anyone.
