Name meaning "Iron Worker", Ghengis Kahn was born in 1162 near Burkahn Khaldun. Legend has it that he was born with a blood clot grasped in his fist, which is a sign that he will become a great leader. Once he came to power he quickly conquered the Western Xia Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, the Kara-Khitan Khanate, and the Khwarezmian Empire all in Central China within 10 years.
Ghengis eventually moved west with his massive army quickly encircling all of the Caspian Sea and effectively crippling what would become the Russian empire at that time. They defeated all but the Bulgarians, but the bilgarians were later defeated in 1250B.BC. concluding the campaign. Ghengis later died 1227 from either battle wounds sustained in Egypt or from falling of his horse. Either way he still had the largest Empire the world has ever seen.
