Mongolian Empire

The Mongol Empire was a vast territory established in the 13th century by Genghis Khan, uniting many nomadic tribes in Central Asia. It expanded rapidly across Asia and into Eastern Europe, creating the largest contiguous land empire in history. The Mongols were skilled horsemen and warriors, employing innovative tactics and promoting trade and cultural exchanges along the Silk Road. Their rule facilitated the movement of goods, ideas, and people, connecting distant regions. Despite their reputation for brutality, they also contributed to cross-cultural interactions, shaping the history and development of Eurasia during the medieval period.
