Mongol Empire
Mongol Empire appears on the map from 1206 to 1293. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1279, it covered about 27.43 million km².
In 1206 an assembly of steppe tribes proclaimed Temüjin as Genghis Khan, ruler of all the Mongols. Reorganising his followers into units of tens, hundreds and thousands loyal to him rather than to their clans, he created a disciplined army of mounted archers that conquered northern China, Central Asia and parts of Persia. His sons and grandsons continued the expansion: Ögedei finished off the Jin dynasty, Batu overran Russia and invaded Poland and Hungary, Hulagu took Baghdad, and Kublai conquered the Song.
