Detailed explanation-2: -War ensued, and Temujin prevailed, destroying all the remaining rival tribes from 1203 – 1205 and bringing them under his sway. In 1206, Temujin was crowned as the leader of the Great Mongol Nation. It was then that he assumed the title of Genghis Khan, meaning universal leader, marking the start of the Mongol Empire.
