The Mongolian ruler and founder, Ganghis Khan, also known as Chinggis Khan, was immensely successful in gaining the largest adjoining empire in all of world history. He lived from A.D. 1162 to A.D. 1227 and is thought to have been a very skillful and intelligent military leader.

He knew what was needed to conquer the world and he made sure that he had everything that would help him succeed.
