Mongols

The Mongols were a nomadic group from Central Asia, renowned for establishing one of the largest empires in history during the 13th century under the leadership of Genghis Khan. Their empire stretched from East Asia to parts of Europe and the Middle East, facilitating trade and cultural exchange along the Silk Road. The Mongols were skilled horsemen and warriors, which enabled their swift conquests. Despite their reputation for brutality in warfare, they implemented innovative governance and promoted trade, leading to a period of relative stability known as the Pax Mongolica. Their legacy profoundly influenced world history.
