In more than 50 years, Genghis Khan and his successors have successively wiped out more than 40 countries, conquered more than 720 ethnic groups, wiped out more than 0/000 million troops of various countries and conquered 600 million people of all ethnic groups, thus establishing the largest country in human history-the Mongolian Empire. In its stable period, its territory area exceeded 35 million square kilometers, and in its peak period, it exceeded 45 million square kilometers, accounting for more than four-fifths of the whole human world at that time. At present, the land area of Asia (including all islands) is only 44 million.
Mongolians have existed since ancient times. After the Tang Dynasty, Mongolian ministries moved to the Mongolian Plateau. From the 10 century to the 12 century, the Mongolian Plateau surrendered to the Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. By about 1200, with the gradual decline of the rulers, Mongolia no longer paid tribute to the rulers. In A.D. 1206, the leader Temujin led the Mongolian beggars to unify the Mongolian ministries that had split and attacked each other, and held a meeting at the source of Nanhe (now Nenjiang), namely the Great Khan of Mongolia, with the title of Genghis Khan and the title of Great Mongolia.
From 1205, Genghis Khan led the Mongolian army to conquer Xixia three times. 12 1 1 year, Mongolian army conquered the Jin dynasty, 1234 year, occupied the capital of the Jin dynasty, and the Jin dynasty perished. In A.D. 12 18, the Mongolian army wiped out the regime of Xiliao and established the Wokuotai khanate here.
From A.D. 12 19 to 1222, Genghis Khan led an army to conquer the thorn submodule (now Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan) and captured several major cities in retaliation for the killing of 500 people in the Mongolian caravan. Sultan Mahathir, the ruler of Varamozi, fled to an island in the Caspian Sea and died of illness. In A.D. 1223, Genghis Khan sent Subutai to continue the Western Expedition, defeated the Grand Duke of Kiev in present-day Ukraine, and then withdrew. In A.D. 1226, Genghis Khan conquered Xixia again, and the king of Xixia surrendered the following year.
1227 Genghis Khan died in Helan mountain. At that time, the Mongolian Empire included the Mongolian Plateau, the northwest, northeast and part of North China of China, and most of Central Asia and West Asia. After that, the Chagatai khanate was established here.
After Kublai Khan moved to the capital (present-day Beijing), the Wokuotai khanate, which supported Alibaba Brother, refused to join Kublai Khan and became independent. The Chagatai Khanate was repeatedly contested by Kublai Khan, Ali Bouguer and other forces. These two khanates are located in Xinjiang and Central Asia. Qincha khanate was established by Batu, located in Bulgaria, the European part of the Russian Federation, and the North Caucasus. It belongs to the Kula model, with the Russian Principality as a vassal state. Ilihan was founded by Xu Liewu, including Caucasus, Iran and Iraq. When Kublai Khan and Ali Buge fought for the khanate, Qincha khanate was actually independent, and Ili Khan was also after Kublai Khan's death, the Mongolian empire split and the "Great Mongolia" no longer existed. Although these four great khanates originally belonged to the Great Mongolian Empire, they were not subordinate to each other, nor did they belong to Kublai Khan's Great Yuan Empire, namely the Yuan Dynasty.
Mongolian Empire and Yuan Dynasty are two concepts that are easily confused by many people in China, which are both related and different. The Yuan Dynasty was the territory of China, excluding the other four great khanates of the Mongol Empire.
