Abstract

Tamerlane belongs to one of the most honorable ruling houses in the Mongols, as his fifth grandfather was a neighbor of Genghis Khan. He was born in one of the villages of Kash from the works of Transoxiana, and in his youth he joined the service of the incursion of Timur, ruler of Transoxiana.
Tamerlink's ambitions did not stop at the borders of his country, but rather he wanted himself to be the only ruler over the world and he believed that he had the legitimate right to inherit his Mongolian ancestors, so he worked to return the entire Mongol lands, setting fire to wars annually with everyone around him to restore the glories of his ancestors.
