the young Temujin was born into a turbulent period of intermittent warfare and internecine conflict. they say he was born with a bloodclot in his hand which was a sign of a leader.

This guy did not stop until he was locked in a coffin, he is such a boss emperor that everyone in the world is 2 % related to him. He was a boss until the end, he and I quoth the rapper watsky "I'm not gonna stop 'till I'm locked in a coffin" and that is exactly what Genghis Khan did. Like he shot his brother for stealing a fish dude, if thats not boss from the start i don't know what is.
-
When he was little, he caught a fish and his brother (teasingly) took it. Genghis whips out a bow and arrow and shoots him, and kills him.
-
At the age of 16, he married his childhood bride Borte, whom he had great admiration for. Shortly after marriage, Borte was kidnapped but Temujin was able to call on some friends to lead a rescue operation. This was successful and although Borte was found to be with child, Temujin would bring up the child as if it was his.
-
When Temujin was about 20, he was captured in a raid by former family allies, the Taichi'uts, and temporarily enslaved. his brothers and several other clansmen to form a fighting unit. Temujin began his slow ascent to power by building a large army of more than 20,000 men. He set out to destroy traditional divisions among the various tribes and unite the Mongols under his rule.
-
By 1206, Temujin had also defeated the powerful Naiman tribe, thus giving him control of central and eastern Mongolia.
-
In 1206 a council of Moghul tribesmen met to declare Temujin as 'Genghis Khan - meaning 'Oceanic Ruler of the Universe.'
-
Genghis Khan founded the Mongolian Empire in 1206. After his death, the empire continued to grow until 1368.
-
In 1207, he led his armies against the kingdom of Xi Xia and, after two years, forced it to surrender.
-
In 1211, Genghis Khan's armies struck the Jin Dynasty in northern China, lured not by the great cities' artistic and scientific wonders, but rather the seemingly endless rice fields and easy pickings of wealth.
-
In 1219, Genghis Khan personally took control of planning and executing a three-prong attack of 200,000 Mongol soldiers against the Khwarizm Dynasty. City after city was brought to its knees, and eventually the Shah Muhammad and later his son were captured and killed, bringing an end to the Khwarizm Dynasty in 1221.
-
Genghis Khan had tremendous ambition to conquer and plunder loot. He first turned his attention to the powerful Chinese empire. He was successful in capturing their city and gaining the obeisance of the Chinese. This allowed him to turn his attentions to the West and Genghis Khan led his Mongol armies west - deep into the heart of Europe - spreading fear and destruction.
-
They say he fell off of his horse at 62 and suffered massive internal bleeding problems that soon lead to his "death." Admit it, either way he isn't dead, he faked it so he could live forever. Only because he is so boss
