Mongol Empire
Historical empireAbout
The Mongol Empire was the largest contiguous land empire in history, formed by Genghis Khan in 1206. It unified nomadic tribes and expanded rapidly across Asia and Eastern Europe, creating a vast network of trade and cultural exchange known as the "Pax Mongolica." This period allowed for the dissemination of goods, technologies, and ideas across Eurasia, fostering significant economic and cultural development. The empire's military prowess and strategic leadership enabled its expansion, while its administrative systems maintained stability. However, internal conflicts and succession disputes led to fragmentation into four main khanates: the Golden Horde, Chagatai Khanate, Ilkhanate, and Yuan Dynasty. Despite its eventual decline, the Mongol Empire's legacy in facilitating global trade and cultural exchange remains profound.
