- "Genghis Khan was a warrior and ruler of genius who, starting fromobscure and insignificant beginnings, brought all the nomadic tribes ofMongolia under the rule of himself and his family in a rigidlydisciplined military state. He then turned his attention toward thesettled peoples beyond the borders of his nomadic realm and begantheseries of campaigns of plunder and conquest that eventually carried theMongol armies as far as the Adriatic Sea in one direction and the Pacificcoast of China in the other, leading to the establishment of the greatMongol Empire."
"Each of his four sons was to hold a vassal kingdom: J?chi,the eldest,was given the land from the Yenisey River and the Aral Sea westward "asfar as the hooves of Mongol horses have reached" wording attributed toGenghis himself; the second son, Chagatai (Tsagadai), received Kashgaria(now the southern part of Sinkiang) and most of Mavrannakhar between theAmu Darya and Syr Darya; the third son, ?g?dei (Ogadai), received westernMongolia and the region of Tarbagatai (now the northwestern corner ofSinkiang); the youngest, Tolui, inherited the ancient Mongol homeland ofeastern Mongolia. Two years later, in 1229, a great Mongol assemblyconfirmed the succession of ?g?dei as the great khan (khagan)."

"Genghis Khan's tomb location is still a mystery to this day. In theyears 1229-1235 after his death, his eldest son, Ogodei, was elected nextKhan. He invaded and conquered the Southern Song Empire. In 1241-1248,Genghis' son Guyak, was elected next Khan. In the years 1251-1258,Genghis Khan's grandson, Mongke, was the next elected Khan. He conqueredthe Muslims. In 1259-1264, Mongke died in the first Mongol defeat, whichwas against Japan. 1267, Kublai, Genghis' grandson was elected Khan. Inthe two following years, (1268, 1269), Kublai built a new Chinesecapitol, Daidu. In the time period 1274-1281, Kublai Khan conqueredJapan, then lost it back. In that same time period, Kublai died of oldage. In the sad year of 1368, the great Empire of Genghis Khan, came toan end."

"Genghis Khan, the fearsome Mongolian warrior of the 13th century, mayhave done more than rule the largest empire in the world; according to arecently published genetic study, he may have helped populate it too.
An international group of geneticists studying Y-chromosome data havefound that nearly 8 percent of the men living in the region of the formerMongol empire carry y-chromosomes that are nearly identical. Thattranslates to 0.5 percent of the male population in the world, or roughly16 million descendants living today"
