Mongol Empire
From Heterodontosaurus Balls
“”I am the punishment of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.

—  Genghis Khan

The Mongol Empire was a vast empire that stretched across Eurasia that existed in the 12th and 13th centuries, from 1206 up until 1271 (1368 if you count the 
Yuan Dynasty). He is the second largest empire ever, and the largest continuous empire. His conquests are infamous for being very ruthless and brutal, killing anyone who refused to surrender, but after the conquest, his rule will become more benevolent. Mongol Empire was also responsible for multiple plagues, because they launch the bodies of soldiers who died from disease into the cities they’re conquering, as biological warfare.
History
The Mongol Empire was founded by famous Genghis Khan in 1206, buy the unification of several nomadic tribes in the Mongol heartland. They would set out and ruthlessly conquer anyone they see in their path, believing it was 
God's will for them to unite the 
whole world.
Chinese Front
First, Mongol Empire attacked 
Western Xia in 1209, and defeated Xia in 1210. Western Xia swore allegiance to the Mongols, and helped them conquer the 
Jurchens, who refused to help Western Xia when he was being invaded. But this invasion was costly and not popular within the peoples of Xia, they refused to send anything to the Mongols for their other expeditions, such as in 1218, when Mongol conquered the 
Liao and in 1219 in the wars against 
Khwarazmian. A Xia general even mocked the Mongols. Genghis Khan was furious, and when he returned from his expeditions in 1225 he sent out to destroy Western Xia. But he fell off a horse and sustained serious injuries. Mongol wanted to retreat, but if they did it would look like they were scared of the little Xia. So, Mongol sent out an envoy to Western Xia to see if they were apologetic (if they were, Mongol can retreat without losing face). The emperor of Xia said he didn’t mock the Mongols, but the general stepped up and told Mongol that it was him who mocked, and challenged them to a battle. So, in 1227, Genghis Khan ordered a mass extermination of the 
Tangut people and the total destruction of their culture. Genghis died in the same year.
Mongol Empire conquered Jurchen Jin in 1234, with a little intervention from the 
Song Dynasty. The Song dynasty wouldn’t be conquered by the Mongols until the Yuan Dynasty was formed.
European Front
After killing Jin, Mongol Empire crossed and conquered the vast central Asian plains and encountering the Caucasus region. He destroyed the Khwarazmian Empire in 1221, leaving a trail of destruction everywhere he went. With nothing to stop him, Mongol Empire marched to Europe, sweeping westward throughout the 13th century. He invaded the Caucasus region, which included 
Georgia, 
Armenia, and parts of Persia and Anatolia, and they were killed and forced into vassal status in 1236. Mongol then killed the collapsing 
Kievan Rus' in 1240. This was considered the sole successful attempt anyone has ever taken to take all of 
Russia, since Kievan Rus’ is Russia’s direct ancestor.
After Kyivan Rus' was defeated, the Mongols headed to central Europe to prepare for battles with 
Holy Roman Empire, 
Kingdom of Poland, 
Grand Duchy of Lithuania, 
Byzantine Empire, and 
Kingdom of Hungary. The Mongols first attacked Poland, where they crushed a combined Polish-German-Templar army at the Battle of 
Legnica (1241), where 
Henry II the Pious was killed, his head put on a spear to warn others. At the same time, the Mongols invaded Hungary, annihilating the Hungarian army at the Battle of 
Mohi (1241), forcing King 
Béla IV to flee. The small European states stood no chance against the Horde, and the Mongols were on the way to full success. However, the 
Grand Khan Ögedei had died, and a new Khagan had to be elected by the military leaders in the Kurultai[1] back in Asia. Thus the conquest of Europe came to an end as all of the Horde went back.
Middle Eastern Front
In 1256, the administrative region 
Ilkhanate was established. In 1257, Mongol Empire asked the 
Abbasid Caliphate to surrender. However, he refused and mocked him, so Mongol sieged and completely destroyed his capital 
Baghdad, conquering Abbasid's clay. He killed all of Abbasid's people including the Caliph. When Baghdad was destroyed, he headed to 
Egypt. He allied with Armenia and Georgia who he conquered and turned into vassals earlier, but were still militarily independent. The Mamluks and Mongols met at Ain Jalut in 1260, where the Mongol general 
Kitbuqa was killed and Mongol had to leave the Middle East. Ilkhanate broke off and became an independent khanate the same year.
Breaking Into Pieces
The 
Golden Horde became independent in 1264. Following that the 
Chagatai Khanate broke off in 1266, leaving only the East Asian part of the Mongol Empire. And the East Asian part proclaimed itself as the Yuan Dynasty in 1271, ending the Mongol Empire as a whole unified state.
Trivia
- Contrary to popular belief, the Mongol Empire collapsed before conquering all of
China. It was his successor 
Yuan that finished the job.
