Gengis Kan fue un guerrero y conquistador mongol que unificó a las tribus nómadas de esta etnia del norte de Asia, fundando el primer Imperio mongol, el imperio contiguo más extenso de la historia. Bajo su liderazgo como Gran Kan, los mongoles comenzaron una oleada de conquistas que extendió su dominio a un vasto territorio, desde Europa Oriental hasta el océano Pacífico, y desde Siberia hasta Mesopotamia, la India e Indochina. En la primera fase de esta expansión, las hordas mongolas conquistaron importantes reinos de Asia, como el Imperio jin del norte de China , el Imperio tanguta, el Kanato de Kara-Kitai, el Imperio corasmio o la dinastía Song en el sur de China.
