In 1206, the year of the Tiger, Temujin managed to unite the Merkits, Naimans, Mongols, Uighurs, Keraits, Tatars and disparate other smaller tribes under his rule through his charisma, dedication, and strong will.

One of the main reforms of Genghis Khan was the creation of Mongol Script. This script was based on the Uigur script and was made the official script of the State.

Ogodei was born in 1187 and he participated in expanding the Great State following after his father.
