Born in Temujin, the Emperor was the founder of the Mongol Empire, which was the predecessor of Yuan Dynasty. He wiped out the military of opposing nations and created a unified empire. Later, he expanded the empire across most of Eurasia and built the largest empire in the Chinese history.
Beyond his military achievements, Genghis Khan was also an active promoter of trade by issuing a series of favored policies to encourage trade flows throughout Asia.
