Genghis Khan Coloring Page

Genghis Khan was born with the name Temujin, and his early life was hard. After his father died, his family had to struggle to survive. In 1206 the Mongol tribes chose him as their leader, and they gave him the title Genghis Khan.

His army was fast, with skilled horse archers, and he set up a system of riders and relay stations, called the yam, to carry messages across the empire. By the time he died, the Mongols ruled land from China to the Caspian Sea.
