Read the following passage and answer the question below. At its height in the thirteenth century, the Mongol Empire was the largest contiguous land empire in history, stretching from Eastern Europe to the Pacific Ocean. Founded by Genghis Khan, the empire expanded rapidly through a combination of highly skilled cavalry, innovative military strategy, and a willingness to adopt useful technologies and administrative practices from conquered peoples. Despite its reputation for brutal conquest, the Mongol Empire also facilitated unprecedented levels of trade and cultural exchange across Asia and Europe, a period sometimes referred to as the Pax Mongolica, or Mongol Peace. This era of relative stability allowed merchants, missionaries, and travelers, such as Marco Polo, to journey safely along trade routes like the Silk Road. After Genghis Khan's death, the empire eventually fragmented into several smaller khanates, each governed by his descendants, though the cultural and administrative legacy of Mongol rule continued to influence the regions it once controlled for centuries afterward. Question: According to the passage, who founded the Mongol Empire?
