Preferred term

Genghis Khan  

Definition

  • Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan merged several warring tribal confederations in the steppes (level and treeless land in southeastern Europe and Asia) of Mongolia and united Mongolia into a single nationality, establishing the largest contiguous empire in history. He received the title of “Genghis Khan” first as the khan (leader) of his own tribe, the Mongols, and then as the emperor of all the tribes of Mongolia after almost twenty years of conflict.
