Throughout history, conquerors have attacked their neighbors and expanded their own territories. They lived to dominate the world, but few succeeded. For centuries, scholars have pondered the qualities that make a successful conqueror. An impeccable conqueror must possess traits such as perseverance, diligence, intelligence and patience. One conqueror who possessed these qualities was Genghis Khan, the leader of the Mongol Horde. Around 1162, near the present-day border between Mongolia and Siberia, a child clutching his own blood clot was born (Genghis Khan BBC Part 1/5). The child, named Temujin, later Genghis Khan, was a ruthless conqueror and leader as well as a fearsome warrior. As the young leader of his tribe, he knew he was born to dictate and show the world what the "illiterate" Mongols could accomplish. During his lifetime, Khan, with the help of his sons, conquered more lands than anyone else in the pages of history. The enemies trembled at the sight of the massive Mongol army. Genghis Khan, the fierce leader of the Mongols, had a huge impact on the world because he was crowned at a young age and was a fierce conqueror. In ancient times, it was very common to find a ruler aged 13. Most of them failed in this task. However, this caused Genghis Khan's rise to ultimate power. After the death of Khan's father, the leader of their nomadic tribe, it fell to Genghis Khan to lead the clan. Crowned at the age of 13, Genghis took the reins and led his tribe to victory. His rise to power was significant because he was a very powerful leader at such a young age. To begin with, because he was crowned at a very young age, he had more time to gather the tribes to form the Mongol Horde. With his first victories, m...... middle of paper ...... his Khan). Therefore, Genghis Khan's existence on Earth had the effect of changing the face of history by spreading the Black Death, unifying China and creating 16 million descendants. Genghis Khan, who was once an innocent child, ended up having a huge impact on history because he was crowned at a very young age and because he was a terrifying conqueror. Throughout his life, he conquered more land than anyone had ever owned in history. Being crowned at a young age allowed him to gather troops to form the Mongol Horde. Moreover, his rise to power was fueled by the imposing image he projected of himself. He was a brilliant mental strategist, a trait inherited from his sons. All of these reasons have had a huge impact on the world. Ultimately, Genghis Khan turned out to have a huge impact on the world, something people didn't see coming..
