Front: Genghis Khan (1167-1227), Mongol political and military leader
Genghis Khan, born Temujin, was the son of a minor chief in what is now
eastern Mongolia. Temujin forged the nomadic tribes of
Mongolia into a disciplined military state. He became known as Genghis Khan,
the Universal Ruler.
Genghis Khan led the Mongols on many destructive and bloody invasions.
Several million people were slaughtered in his conquests of neighboring
countries. Genghis Khan never learned how to read. His success as a ruler was
the result of his superior military organization, strategy and mobility.

Mongolia, located in central Asia between Russia and China, attained its greatest
power in the 13th century when Genghis Khan conquered China and part of Eastern
Europe. In later centuries, it became part of China until 1921 when it gained
independence. For a more detailed
country profile, see CIA World Factbook on Mongolia.
