Genghis Khan Trial
“If you’re afraid, don’t do it. If you’re doing it, don’t be afraid.”

The group fought and by 1205 he was able to get rid of all his enemies. After, like that he pulled “representatives” from every part/territory of what is similar to modern Mongolia, all together for a meeting and was claimed Genghis/Chinggis Khan or “Universal Ruler”.
