Answer:
Genghis Khan (1162-1227) was the first and greatest of the Mongol khans. He believed that it was heaven's will and his destiny to unite the world by force. Forging an army from a group of unruly Mongol tribes, he almost single-handedly created an empire that spanned half of the known world. J.M. Roberts, author of the Penguin History of the World called him “the greatest conqueror the world has ever known," [Source: Mike Edwards, National Geographic, December, 1996]
Genghis Khan is a Persianized spelling of Chinnis Khaan, or sometimes Chinggis Khan, the name by which he is known in Mongolia. According to legend Genghis Khan was born with “fire in his eyes and a light on his face.” A Persian historian wrote he was "possessed great energy, discernment, genius, and understanding, awe-inspiring, a butcher, just, resolute, an overthrower of enemies, intrepid, sanguinary, and cruel."
According to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art: “At the time of his death in 1227, Genghis Khan had unified the Mongol people, organized a nearly invincible army of fearless nomadic warriors, and set into motion the first stage in the conquest of an enormous territory that would be completed by his sons and grandsons. With extraordinary speed and devastating ruthlessness the Mongols created the world’s largest empire, stretching at its greatest extent from Korea to Hungary. But the legacy of Genghis Khan extends well beyond the battlefield.

Genghis Khan is reputed to have said; “ The greatest joy a man can have is victory: to conquer one’s enemy’s armies, to pursue them, to deprive them of their possessions, to reduce their families to tears, to ride their horses, and to ravish their wives and daughters.” But not everyone sees him as a villain. Russian director Sergei Bidrov, who made a movie about him, said: “I realized he wasn’t born a monster. He was orphaned, he was a slave, he met his future wife when he was 9. He punished anyone who tortured prisoners and was loyal to his people. Nobody betrayed him. Alexander the Great’s empire fell after he died.. Genghis Khan’s lasted for 200 more years.
