How Genghis Khan conquered the world

Genghis Khan, originally named Temüjin, rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most formidable conquerors in history. Born around 1162 in Mongolia, he unified the Mongol tribes under his leadership by 1206, creating the Mongol Empire. His strategy involved sophisticated military tactics, including the use of cavalry, espionage, and psychological warfare.

Through a series of campaigns starting in the early 13th century, Genghis Khan expanded his empire across Asia, reaching from the Korean Peninsula to the Caspian Sea. His conquests were marked by:

Military Innovation: Using speed, surprise, and adaptability, Mongol forces could outmaneuver larger armies.
Diplomacy: He often gave enemies the chance to surrender without a fight, choosing assimilation over annihilation when possible.
Administration: After conquest, he established efficient governance systems, integrating conquered peoples into the empire.

However, his methods were also brutal, with massacres and destruction used to intimidate opposition.
