Khans of the Mongol Empire

Khans were the rulers and leaders within the Mongol Empire, a vast empire that emerged in the 13th century under Genghis Khan. A "Khan" is a title of authority, often translated as "king" or "chief." Genghis Khan united various Mongol tribes and established a powerful empire that stretched across Asia and into Europe. After his death, his descendants, known as the Great Khans, continued to expand the empire, overseeing remarkable achievements in trade, culture, and military strategy. The legacy of the Khans significantly influenced world history and the development of Central Asia.
