Timur, also known as Tamerlane, was a Turco-Mongol conqueror who established the Timurid Empire in modern-day Afghanistan, Iran, and Central Asia. He was an undefeated military commander and is regarded as one of the greatest military leaders in history. Timur conducted military campaigns across Western, South, and Central Asia, defeating powerful rulers and becoming the most influential ruler in the Muslim world. Inspired by Genghis Khan’s conquests, he aimed to revive the Mongol Empire. Timur used Islamic symbols to justify his conquests and supported educational and religious institutions.
