When did the Mongol ruler Genghis Khan die?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4. i.e. 1227.
By 1206, Temujin had become the leader of a Mongol confederation and was given the title 'Genghis Khan,' which means 'oceanic' or 'universal' monarch.
Genghis Khan had a vast network of spies that he utilised to uncover his enemies' weaknesses. Using this, Khan attacked the enemy's defences with up to 2,50,000 cavalrymen at once.
He died on August 18, 1227, when he was 65 years old.
