🌍 GENGHIS KHAN'S WORLD CONQUEST (Simplified Map Timeline)
In just 25 years, a former slave built history's largest land empire – this map shows exactly how he did it.
🗺️ The Mongol Empire's Growth at a Glance:
1206 - Unites Mongolia (size of Alaska)
1211 - Crushes Northern China (Jin Dynasty)
1219 - Destroys Persia (1.5M killed in revenge)
1223 - Smashes Russian princes at Kalka River
1227 - Empire spans 12M sq miles at his death
