First sentence: The Mongol Empire was founded in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries by Temuchin, later known as Chinggis Khan (died AD 1227), who united the Mongolian and Turkish-speaking tribes of the eastern Eurasian steppe and forged an empire which within the span of two generations was to stretch across Asia.
