 | | Genghis was born by the name of Temüjin sometime between 1162 and 1167, the first son of Yesügei, a tribal chief of the Tartars in 1175, and Temüjin was inducted as the clan's chief. |
 | | As the great Khan, he used the military system of the Huns based on the decimal system, with armies being split into groups of 10, 100, 1000 and finally a tumen (10,000). |
 | | Meanwhile, Kuchlug, the deposed khan of the Naiman Mongols, had fled west and had usurped the state of Kara-Khitan Khanate, the western allies that had decided to side with Genghis. |
