Failure to refer, also reference failure or failure of reference, is the concept that names can fail to name a real object.
 According to Bertrand Russell's theory of truth, there is only one actual world, and a statement's truth value depends on whether the statement obtains in the actual world.
 Continuing the tradition of Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell posited that a name picks out, or refers to, a real object in the world (Russell's Correspondence theory of truth).
 The name "Genghis Khan" thus picks out the 12th and 13th century Mongol leader we know by that name.
 Any sentence in which we attach a predicate to the name "Genghis Khan" is true if the predicate obtained in the actual world.
 Any sentence in which the predicate does not obtain for Genghis Khan is false.
 The Wikipedia statement “"Genghis Khan founded the largest contiguous empire in world history"” is thus true, and the statement “"Genghis Khan was one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London"” is false.
 As an example for a name that fails to refer to a real object, Russell used “"the present king of France"“ in a 1905 article.
Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World (2004) is a history book written by Jack Weatherford, Dewitt Wallace Professor of Anthropology at Macalester College.
 It is a narrative of the rise and influence of Genghis Khan and his successors, and their influence on European civilization.
 Weatherford provides a different slant on Genghis Khan than has been typical in most Western accounts, attributing positive cultural effects to his rule.
The Secret History of the Mongol Queens: How the Daughters of Genghis Khan Rescued His Empire is a 2010 book by Jack Weatherford, about the impact and legacy of Genghis Khan's daughters and Mongol queens such as Mandukhai the Wise and Khutulun.
 The book references Mongolian, Central Asian, Persian, European and Chinese sources such as "Altan Tobchi", "Erdeni Tobchi", "Erdenyin Tunamal Sudar", "Tarikh-i-Rashidi", "Tarikh-i Jahangushay-i Juvaini", and "Ming shi" in addition to various secondary sources in English, Mongolian, and German.
Jack McIver Weatherford is the former DeWitt Wallace Professor of anthropology at Macalester College in Minnesota.
 He is best known for his 2004 book, "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World".
 In 2006, he was awarded the Order of the Polar Star, Mongolia’s highest national honor for foreigners.
Chagatai Khan　(Mongolian: Цагадай , "Tsagadai"; , "Chágětái"; Turkish: "Çağatay" ; Persian: , "Joghatai" , 22 December 1183 – 1 July 1242) was the second son of Genghis Khan.
 He was Khan of the Chagatai Khanate from 1226-1242 C.E.
 The Chagatai language and Chagatai Turks take their names from him.
 He inherited most of what are now the five Central Asian states after the death of his father.
 He was also appointed by Genghis Khan to oversee the execution of the Yassa, the written code of law created by Genghis Khan, though that lasted only until Genghis Khan was crowned Khan of the Mongol Empire.
 The Empire later came to be known as the Chagatai Khanate, a descendant empire of the Mongol Empire.
 Chagatai Khan was considered hot-headed and somewhat temperamental by his relatives, because of his attitude of non-acceptance of Jochi as Great Khan.
 He was the most vocal about this issue among his relations.
 Chaghatai himself appears to have been a just and energetic governor, though perhaps rough and uncouth, and addicted to hard drinking.
 At any rate, he was animated by the soldier-like spirit of his father, and succeeded in keeping order among as heterogeneous a population as a kingdom was ever composed of.
The Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue, part of the Genghis Khan Statue Complex is a 40 m tall statue of Genghis Khan on horseback, on the bank of the Tuul River at "Tsonjin Boldog" (54 km (33.55 mi) east of the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar), where according to legend, he found a golden whip.
 The statue is symbolically pointed east towards his birthplace.
 It is on top of the Genghis Khan Statue Complex, a visitor centre, itself 10 m tall, with 36 columns representing the 36 khans from Genghis to Ligdan Khan.
 It was designed by sculptor D. Erdenebileg and architect J. Enkhjargal and erected in 2008.
Temulin was the sister of Genghis Khan.
 She was born just before the death of her father and when her family was abandoned by their tribe.
 She married an Olkhun'ut warrior by name Palchuk.
 Genghis was close to her just like he was to his mother Hoelun and his wife Borte and brothers.
 She died when Shah Ala-ud-din forces attacked the Mongolian settlements of Genghis Khan near the war zone after their devastating defeat at the hands of Mongolian army.
 Genghis Khan took an oath to destroy Shah Ala-ud-din after this event.
 But some facts also state that Genghis Khan camp healer Kokchu had killed her, taking advantage of the raid by the Arab ruler on the Mongolian camp as he was afraid she would report his behaviour to Genghis Khan.
 There are not many historical facts about her because she did not contribute much to the overall outcome of Mongolia.
 She had four older brothers: Temujin (who would go on to become Genghis Khan), Hasar, Hachiun and Temuge.
 She also had two half brothers, Behter and Belgutei.
Macalester College ( ) is a private, coeducational liberal arts college located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, US.
 It was founded in 1874 as a Presbyterian-affiliated but nonsectarian college.
 Its first class entered September 15, 1885.
 Macalester is exclusively an undergraduate four-year institution and enrolled 1,978 students in the fall of 2013 from 50 U.S. states and 90 countries.
 In 2015, "U.S. News & World Report" ranked Macalester as tied for the 23rd best liberal arts college in the United States, 6th for undergraduate teaching at a national liberal arts college, and 19th for best value at a national liberal arts college.
Belgutei was the son of Yesugei and half-brother to Genghis Khan.
 He also became general to Genghis Khan.
 Belgutei was considered a wise counselor and skilled diplomat, and was often used as a messenger by Genghis Khan.
 With Genghis Khan's blessing, Belgutei killed the champion wrestler of the Mongols, Buri Boko, by breaking his neck during a wrestling match.
 This was revenge for an earlier incident when Buri Boko had fought with Belgutei and slashed him with a sword.
 According to legend, Belgutei lived to an unusually old age.
 Rashid ad-Din claims he died at the age of 110, while the Yuanshi reports that he was still alive when Mongke Khan took the throne in 1251, making him around 100, which would make him one of the oldest men on the earth, a fact made even more difficult due to the average life span of people during the time.
The Mongol conquest of Western Xia was a series of conflicts between the Mongol Empire and the Western Xia () dynasty, also known as the Tangut Empire, or Minya.
 Hoping to gain both plunder and a powerful vassal state, Mongol leader Genghis Khan commanded some initial raids against Western Xia before launching a full-scale invasion in 1209.
 This invasion marked both the first major invasion conducted by Genghis and the beginning of the Mongol invasion of China.
 Despite a major set-back during a nearly year-long siege of the capital, Yinchuan, when the diverted river accidentally flooded their camp, the Mongols convinced Emperor Li Anquan to surrender in January 1210.
 For nearly a decade the Western Xia served the Mongols as vassals and aided them in the Mongol–Jin War, but when Genghis invaded the Islamic Khwarazmian dynasty in 1219, Western Xia attempted to break away from the Empire and ally with the Jin and Song dynasties.
 Angered by this betrayal, in 1225 Genghis Khan sent a second, punitive expedition into Western Xia.
 Genghis intended to annihilate the entire Western Xia culture, and his campaign systematically destroyed Western Xia cities and the countryside, culminating in the siege of the capital in 1227 along with forays into Jin territory.
 Near the end of the siege, in August 1227, Genghis Khan died from an uncertain cause, though some accounts say he was killed in action against Western Xia.
 After his death, Yinchuan fell to the Mongols and most of its population was massacred.
