Unity of the Tribes
Genghis Khan was born into a world where tribes attacked each other, gaining very little loot. But, the real ruler over all of the Steppe Tribes are the Western Xia Dynasty of China. By using the advantage of the tribes attacking each other, the Western Xia Dynasty was able to make sure the tribes never formed a alliance to be strong enough to destroy it. However, life for the tribes was hard. Each tribe was in constant fear of being attacked. But Genghis Khan changed all that. When Genghis Khan united all the tribes, he made sure that tribes fighting each other would be in severely punished. That's how the tribes of Eastern Asia, who once thought of each other as rivals, were able to form a nation, later known as Mongolia.
