Mongol Empire

The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan (1165-1227) in 1206. It was one of the most vast empires in human history stretching from Korea to Europe. The Mongol Empire was always an extremely decentralized state as no one person could easily govern it all. Because of this not long after the early conquests the Empire split into a number of smaller khanates. Some of these decendent empires had large impacts such as the Mongol founded Yuan Dynasty in China, and the Golden Horde that controlled Central Asia and Russia.
