  6. Took over Jin Empire in 1211, controlled all of Central Asia by 1225. • Died of illness in 1227. By then, the empire was the largest land empire EVER in history. It included both modern day China and Poland- a pretty incredible feat. • What made Genghis Khan such a success?

  7. YOUR BOOK SAYS… He was a brilliant organizer, gifted strategist, and noted for his cruelty.

  8. MR. RYNONE WOULD ADD… • He was very good at delegating tasks to people below him. He was an excellent judge of talent. • He was a charismatic leader and appealed to the Mongol people. He also encouraged his men to fight long, hard battles. • What do you think??????

  9. KHANATES • After Genghis’ death, his grandson, Kublai Khan, took the title of Great Khan • Split empire into four “khanates” or independent regions- each led by another of Genghis’ sons

  10. PAX MONGOLICA • “The Mongol Peace” • Silk Road reopens- once again safe enough for international trade
