Mongol Conquest

The Mongol Conquest, occurring in the 13th century, was a series of military campaigns led by the Mongol Empire, starting under Genghis Khan. It rapidly expanded across Asia and into parts of Europe, Persia, and the Middle East, using highly skilled horse archers, superior tactics, and a disciplined army. Their conquests resulted in the large-scale unification of diverse regions, fostering trade and cultural exchange along the Silk Road. Despite causing widespread destruction, the Mongol Conquest also facilitated long-term connections between different civilizations, shaping the political and cultural landscape of Eurasia.
