Genghis Kahn is a Monster. He killed so many people for no reason. He was a tyrrant all he wants is power power and more power!!! But he is a really good leader he took over the Persian Empire. He was the emperor of the Mongol Empire and he also had the worlds largest empire! not to mention his army was the most feared of all!
