“”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, 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 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, smashing the Khwarazmian Empire in 1221 and leaving a trail of destruction. With nothing to stop them, the Mongols marched to Europe and 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 back in Asia. Thus the conquest of Europe came to an end as all of the Horde went back.

Middle Eastern Front

In 1257, Mongol Empire asked the Abbasid Caliphate to surrender. However, he refused, 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.
