Best Answer

Temujin or Genghis Khan, lived from roughly about 1162 to 1227 and is best known for founding the Mongol Empire, which was the largest continuous empire in history. Even though the Mongol population only numbered one to two million, their huge number of horses enabled them to conquer large amounts of territory. Temujin was a ruthless and pragmatic leader, and although he had no real experience in governing he was open to taking on foreign advisors and help. He pursued an aggressive foreign policy and during his lifetime, the Mongol Empire eventually spread to most of Asia. He and his troops were known for their ruthlessness and acquired a reputation of willing to wipe out an entire city's population if they were to resist. After his death, there was an internal struggle for supremacy among the Mongol leaders and his huge empire was split into smaller khanates.
