clans under his rule. Once he defeated all his rivals, he took the title of Genghis Khan in 1206. He soon would be the founder of the Mongol Empire, becoming the ruler of one the largest empires in history. Genghis Khan is often depicted as a barbarian and a bloodthirsty leader, bringing fear in every city he went, but people only focus on the negatives and don’t see that maybe he did more good than harm.
