Genghis's third son, Ogodei Khan
Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire, oversaw its greatest territorial expansion. He united the Mongol tribes and launched a series of military campaigns across Asia and into Europe during the early 13th century, significantly enlarging the empire. His innovative strategies and fierce tactics allowed the Mongols to conquer vast territories, making it one of the largest empires in history.
He wanted to restore Italy to what it was like during the time of the Roman Empire.
At its greatest territorial extent in the late 17th century, the Ottoman Empire spanned three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa. Its territories included much of Southeast Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, stretching from the Balkans in the northwest to parts of the Arabian Peninsula in the southeast, and reaching as far south as Egypt and the northern coast of Africa. Key cities such as Istanbul, Cairo, and Baghdad were integral to its vast empire.
Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor from 1658 to 1707, is often seen as a controversial figure. While he successfully expanded the empire to its greatest territorial extent and implemented significant administrative reforms, his policies, particularly his religious intolerance and heavy taxation, alienated many of his subjects. This discontent contributed to the weakening of the empire after his death, leading to increased regional autonomy and the eventual decline of Mughal power. Thus, his success is viewed as a double-edged sword, achieving territorial expansion but sowing the seeds of future instability.
The Roman Empire reached its greatest territorial extent in the early 2nd century AD, under Emperor Trajan, encompassing large portions of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. At its height, it included regions of modern-day countries such as Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and parts of Britain. The empire's expansion marked a significant period of cultural and political influence across these continents.

It seems like there might be a typo. If you mean "Trajan," he was a Roman Emperor who ruled from 98 to 117 AD. He is known for his public building programs, conquests in Dacia (modern-day Romania), and the expansion of the Roman Empire to its greatest territorial extent.
The Ottoman Empire succeed in expanding because they let people keep their own beliefs. Its strong military was able to defeat other nations. :)
Charlemagne added the region of Lombardy southeast of the Alphas to the Carolingian Empire. This expansion in 774 AD significantly increased the power and territorial reach of the empire under his rule.

Territorial expansion could lead to conquest and domination of other societies, resulting in the need to assert power and control over the conquered population through rituals like human sacrifice. Human sacrifice could also be used as a way to instill fear and maintain social order within the expanding empire or civilization. Additionally, the resources gained from territorial expansion could enable the rulers to afford the extravagant ceremonies associated with human sacrifice.
The Kingdom of the Franks was founded by Clovis I, who was crowned first King of the Franks in 496. The greatest expansion of the empire was obtained before the early 9th century.
