}}{{Quote|I am the punishment of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.|{{i|Khan}} [[Khanism|Genghis Khan]]}}The <b>Mongol Empire</b> 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 {{i|Yuan}} [[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 {{i|Khan}} [[Khanism|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 {{i|Tengrism}} [[Tengrism|God]]'s will for them to unite the {{i|Earth}} [[Earth|whole world]].

=== Chinese Front ===
First, Mongol Empire attacked {{i|Western Xia}} [[Western Xia]] in 1209, and defeated Xia in 1210. Western Xia swore allegiance to the Mongols, and helped them conquer the {{i|Jurchen Jin}} [[Jurchen Jin|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, and a 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 {{i|1ball}} [[Tangut]] people and the total destruction of their culture. Genghis died in the same year.

Mongol Empire conquered {{i|Jurchen Jin}} [[Jurchen Jin]] in 1234, with a little intervention from the {{i|Song}} [[Song Dynasty]]. The Song dynasty wouldn’t be conquered by the Mongols until the {{i|Yuan}} [[Yuan Dynasty]] was formed.

=== European Front ===
After killing {{i|Jurchen Jin}} [[Jurchen Jin|Jin]], Mongol Empire crossed and conquered the vast central Asian plains and encountering the Caucasus region. He destroyed the {{i|Khwarazmian}} [[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 {{i|Kingdom of Georgia}} [[Kingdom of Georgia|Georgia]], {{i|Zakarid Armenia}} [[Zakarid Armenia|Armenia]], and parts of Persia and Anatolia, and they were killed and forced into vassal status in 1236. Mongol then killed the collapsing {{i|KievanRus}} [[Kievan Rus']] in 1240. This was considered the sole successful attempt anyone has ever taken to take all of {{i|Russia}} [[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 {{i|HRE}} [[Holy Roman Empire]], {{i|KingdomPoland}} [[Kingdom of Poland]], {{i|GDLith}} [[Grand Duchy of Lithuania]], {{i|Byzantine}} [[Byzantine Empire]], and {{i|KOHungary1000}} [[Medival Kingdom of Hungary|Kingdom of Hungary]]. The Mongols first attacked Poland, where they crushed a combined Polish-German-Templar army at the Battle of {{i|Legnica}} [[Legnica]] (1241), where {{i|Stratocracy}} [[Stratocracy|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 {{i|Hungary}} [[Muhi|Mohi]] (1241), forcing King {{i|Mon}} [[Monarchism|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 {{i|MongolEmp}} [[Khanism|Grand Khan Ögedei]] had died, and a new Khagan had to be elected by the military leaders in the Kurultai<ref>A kurultai (/kʊrʊlˈtaɪ/, lit. 'gathering'), also called a qurultai, was a political and military council of ancient {{i|Khan}} [[Mongolia|Mongol]] and {{i|OTS}} [[Organization of Turkic States|Turkic]] chiefs and khans.</ref> 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 {{i|Ilkhanate}} [[Ilkhanate]] was established. In 1257, Mongol Empire asked the {{i|Abbasid}} [[Abbasid Caliphate]] to surrender. However, he refused and mocked him, so Mongol sieged and completely destroyed his capital {{i|Abbasid Baghdad}} [[Abbasid Baghdad|Baghdad]], conquering Abbasid's clay. He killed all of Abbasid's people including the Caliph. When Baghdad was destroyed, he headed to {{i|Mamluk}} [[Mamluk Sultanate|Egypt]]. He allied with Armenia and Georgia who he conquered and turned into vassals earlier, but were still militarily independent. The Mamluks and {{i|Ilkhanate}} [[Ilkhanate|Mongols]] met at {{i|Mamluk}} [[Ma'ayan Harod|Ain Jalut]] in 1260, where the Mongol general {{i|EastChrist}} [[East Syriac Christianity|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 {{i|Golden Horde}} [[Golden Horde]] became independent in 1264. Following that the {{i|Chagatai Khanate}} [[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 {{i|Yuan}} [[Yuan Dynasty]] in 1271, ending the Mongol Empire as a whole unified state.
