Who was Genghis Khan? This feared ruler founded the largest land empire in history.(World History)

Junior Scholastic | February 7, 2005| | Copyright

Genghis Khan (JENG-gis KON) has what you might call a nasty reputation. More than 700 years after his death, he is still remembered as a very bad guy. His image is that of a barbarian, a notorious villain. Like Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan led thousands of warriors into one battle after another, conquering lands and peoples far beyond his homeland. Both men were brilliant generals who built vast empires. Yet history often remembers Alexander as heroic, and Genghis Khan as bloodthirsty.

Who was Genghis Khan, and why does he have such a terrible reputation?
