Historical background
Temüjin brought rival steppe groups under his leadership and was proclaimed Genghis Khan in 1206. He used military discipline, mobility and alliances to turn a confederation of steppe peoples into a conquering power.
His armies campaigned in northern China and against the Khwarazmian Empire in Central Asia. His successors expanded the state still further, creating the largest contiguous land empire in history.
