Timurid Empire
Timurid Empire appears on the map from 1375 to 1525. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1402, it covered about 5.14 million km².
Timur, known in Europe as Tamerlane, was a Turkic-Mongol warlord from Transoxiana who made himself master of the western Chagatai lands in 1370. Claiming to restore Genghis Khan's empire, though he ruled through puppet khans and called himself emir, he spent 35 years campaigning: he devastated Iran, crushed the Golden Horde, sacked Delhi in 1398 and defeated the Ottoman sultan Bayezid I at Ankara in 1402. His conquests were brutal, marked by towers of skulls, but he filled Samarkand with captured craftsmen and splendid buildings. More about Timurid Empire.
