Ghengis Khan reached power by uniting the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia. He founded the Mongol Empire and began invading other tribes. This resulted in the eventual conquest of most of Eurasia.
While most conquests like this are usually pretty bloody, no one holds a candle to Khan. He killed with such savagery that it is estimated that he killed 11.1% of the world's population at the time. In whole numbers, it is estimated that his campaigns resulted in the death of more than 40 million people!
