How did genghis khan die?
Genghis Khan died on August 18, 1227, during his last campaign with the Tangut Empire during which Genghis was fighting against the Khwarezmid Empire.The reason for his death is uncertain. Many assume he fell off his horse due to old age and physical fatigue; some contemporary observers cited prophecies from his opponents. The Galician-Volhynian Chronicle alleges he was killed by the Tanguts. There are persistent folktales that a Tangut princess, to avenge her people and prevent her rape, castrated him with a knife hidden inside her and that he never recovered.
