Genghis Khan was a very powerful military commander, and he had the ability to gather people around him, and he began to gradually expand in the surrounding areas, and soon his kingdom expanded until it reached its borders from Korea in the east to the borders of the Islamic Khwarezmian state in the west, and from the plains of Siberia in the north to the China Sea in the south That is, it included countries in the world today: China, Iran, Kazakhstan, North and South Korea, Mongolia, Vietnam, Thailand, and parts of Siberia, as well as the Kingdom of Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, and Bhutan.
Before Genghis Khan died, he recommended that his successor be Oqtay Khan, and divided his empire into khans between his sons and grandsons. He died in 1227 after defeating the Tangut forces. He was buried in an unknown grave where he is not known exactly in Mongolia. And his descendants began to expand their empire throughout Eurasia by occupying or establishing kingdoms belonging to them within present-day China, Korea, the Caucasus, the kingdoms of Central Asia, and large parts of Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
Besides his huge military achievements, Genghis Khan made the Mongol Empire develop in other ways. He decreed the adoption of the Uyghur alphabet as the writing system of the Mongol Empire. He also encouraged his generals to accept and deal with many other ethnicities within his empire, thus creating a unified empire from the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia. Therefore, the current Mongols have great respect for him and consider him the founding father of the Mongolian state and a first-rate national hero.
