It was created and controlled by Temüjin, who adopted the title Ghenghis Khan, meaning universal leader, from 1206 up until his death in 1227 (Lewis, p. 1, 2002).

The Mongols were a powerhouse for a relatively short period of time from 1206 to 1279 by ruling the majority of Asia and eastern Europe leading to them becoming the largest contiguous empire in history.

The Mongols' way of life is nomadic with a strong military, but the way they believed was very clever with a normal belief system, but the way they carried it out was barbaric and bad.
