Khans of the Mongols

The Khans of the Mongols were powerful leaders within the Mongol Empire, which emerged in the early 13th century under Genghis Khan. "Khan" means "ruler" or "king" in Mongolian. Genghis Khan, known for uniting the Mongol tribes and expanding the empire across much of Asia and Europe, set the foundation for subsequent Khans who governed various regions. These leaders implemented military strategies, trade policies, and cultural exchanges that greatly influenced world history. Notable successors include Kublai Khan, who established the Yuan Dynasty in China, promoting further integration and connectivity across vast territories.
