The round commemorates Ghengis Khan, He amassed more than twice as much territory as any other person in history through both brutal conquest and savvy alliances. Genghis Khan's warrior legacy continued through his descendants, who expanded his empire. The expansion of the Mongol Empire helped the Silk Road flourish again, which allowed for the exchange of trade ideas and cultures to travel between Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

The year of Temüjin's(Ghengis Khan) birth is disputed, as historians favor different dates: 1155, 1162 or 1167. Fast forward 30 so years, now sole ruler of the steppe, Temüjin held a large assembly called a kurultai at the source of the Onon River in 1206. Here, he formally adopted the title Genghis Khan, some suggest that the word "Genghis" bears connotations of strength, firmness, hardness, or righteousness. Having attained control over one million people, Genghis Khan began what many have termed a "social revolution". As traditional tribal systems had primarily evolved to benefit small clans and families, they were unsuitable as the foundations for larger states and had been the downfall of previous steppe confederations. He continued for many years until the year of 1227 where fell from his horse during a winter hunt. He later succumbed from a disease that many have argued about. Many believe it was the bubonic plague while others believe he was shot by an arrow or hit by lightning.
