INTRODUCTION
In this world, there were so many leaders who shaped the history by fighting in war arena or by their ideas, thinking ways or attitudes etc. But their main aim was to solve the problems in their countries or to conquer new territories to spread their culture and to have strong position in world politics.These were the main goal of all great leaders in the history.
For achieving goals, leaders could use so variable methods such as having wins in the war arena or without using bullets as Mahatma Gandhi did. But, we should not forget that whatever they do is for sake of their countries and new generations who will grow up in those regions.

Thus, this paper will try to have a conclusion about their successes and how they brought

    A great leader should be so determined to achieve their goal, whatever it may be, that they will stop at nothing to make it happen. By “goal,” I must mention that I mean a positive, selfless goal—one that is backed with commendable intentions and doesn’t aim to hurt or bring down others. A leader should aim to fight for the rights of the people. A great leader is always willing to go the extra mile to do something great—and they…

    The name of Genghis Khan is often associated with destruction, although the image of Genghis Khan has been rehabilitated somewhat in the west. The western world, saturated in media distortion and a reluctance to accept changes in perceptions of history, has been rather averse in accepting Genghis Khan's activities as pivotal in world history and the shaping of the modern world. Thus, the publication of Jack Weatherford's book, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, is a welcome addition to the literature on the Mongols.…

    In 1165, a child was born in the heart of Asia. It is said that when he was born, he was clutching a blood clot-a sign from Heaven that he was destined to be a great warrior. His name is Genghis Khan, meaning "Universal Ruler". The word Khan is not a name, but a title. It means emperor or king. This word had been used by different tribes or nations in various forms in central Asia. Genghis Khan is the most greatest among those Khans.(Abbott, 1902) His life was about to become a legend in human history. Many people believe that his story is full of butchering people and some scholars even compared him to Hitler. The real character of Genghis Khan, however, is far more intriguing. How did this illiterate outcast turn the feuding tribes of Mongolia into a powerful nation? And how did he transform the Mongol hordes into a ruthless and disciplined fighting machine?…

    The life story of Genghis Khan fascinates because of the significant strides he made in life. Unlike his grandson who inherited power, he had to work hard to reach the position of power. While his rise to power was in itself a major achievement, his success to unite and organize a formidable force made up of Mongols, who were essentially nomads, is a reflection of his intellectual acuteness. Even though also acknowledging that his grandson, Kublai Khan, was also successful in conquering the parts of China that his grandfather did not, the organization and coordination that Genghis Khan established was essentially the template that was being used.…
