What Makes Genghis Khan A Good Leader

Genghis Khan was known as one the greatest leaders and conquerors in the world. From the moment he became the Mongol leader he already foreshadowed having the largest empire the world has known. He was able to conqueror cities before he could even arrive. His power was so absolute no one even dared to challenge him. Genghis Khan is a leader who has been taught and known by nearly every person in the world. To this day he still taught because of the legacy he left. Before Genghis Khan became Genghis Khan he was known as Temujin. He was born in 1162 in Mongolia or present day Siberia. According to History,
“His mother had been kidnapped by his father and forced into marriage. At that time, dozens of nomadic tribes on the central Asian steppe
He had to endure so much and from the death of his father his heart became set on revenge. From all his rage as well just a little while after his family was abandoned he murdered his older brother so he could be the head of the household or the “man of the house.” It wasn’t long though before the clan that left him and his family abandoned him kidnapped him and took him but as you can already predict he escaped from him. “In 1178 Temujin married Borte, with whom he would have four sons and an unknown number of daughters. He launched a daring rescue of Borte after she too was kidnapped, and he soon began making alliances, building a reputation as a warrior and attracting a growing number of followers” (History). This was just the beginning of Temujin’s soon to be absolute
With all his followers he eventually started making tribes within them. “He also forbade the selling and kidnapping of women, banned the enslavement of any Mongol and made livestock theft punishable by death. Moreover, Genghis Khan ordered the adoption of a writing system, conducted a regular census, granted diplomatic immunity to foreign ambassadors and allowed freedom of religion well before that idea caught on elsewhere”(History). I believe Khan to be the greatest leader because he not only respected women he treated them equally. His idea of freedom of religion was also one of greatest ideas I believe to be thought of because without the argument of you can’t believe this or you need to believe this, it created peace. In 1209 Khan then conquered the Xi Xia capital. The Jin dynasty was then attacked next and after in 1214 they besieged the capital of Zhongd. Khan continued to expand his power conquers towns, cities, and countries one after the next eventually making his empire the largest empire
