Genghis Khan was a fair leader who chose his leaders based on abilities, valued freedom of expression and religion, and welcomed women as valuable members of his empire. However, his ambition for expansion led to excessive bloodshed. Although he rewarded those who cooperated with him, he showed no mercy to those who resisted. Despite this, Genghis Khan left behind the largest empire in history upon his death in 1227, with an army of more than 129,000 men. The cause of his death remains unknown.

Model Answer Writing Genghis Khan was a great leader of his time. He was a fair ruler. He chose his leaders based on their abilities and not their blood, race, religion and language. He also valued freedom of expression and religion. And, women were also valuable members of his empire. This shows that he didn’t care about what anyone thought. He ruled his empire the way he wanted to. However, I believe there was too much bloodshed. He wanted to conquer as much of the world as he could. So, he wasn’t concerned about how he did it or how many people were killed. Even though he would kill those who resisted him, he would also reward those who cooperated with him. He was so powerful that when he died, he had the biggest empire in the history of the world.
