By defeating separate tribes in Northeast Asia, Mongolian warrior and ruler Genghis Khan built the world's largest empire, the Mongol Empire.
Hello, Ghengis Khan our new leader
Genghis Khan's invasion of Western Xia was began in 1209. The Mongols planned to seize plunder and a vassal state from the Western Xia kingdom, which was governed by Tangut. Genghis' early raids were followed by a succession of fights before he launched a full-scale invasion.
We're here to raid and conquer your town of western xia.
After the mongol tribes had totally overrun their town, the townpeople were compelled to be taken back and put to work for them.
The Mongol Empire was officially broken up in 1368, and control was given to the Song Dynasty after Genghis Khan and his sons defeated the Western Xia and conquered Central Asia, Mongolia, and the Hexi Corridor.
You must come work for us now that we have conquered and taken you from your town in western xia.
The Silk Routes served as efficient channels of communication as well as trade across the massive Mongol empire genghis khan established, which stretched from China to Europe. The Mongols improved the Silk Road's cultural value by allowing people of all religions to cohabit. The confluence of peoples and cultures from conquered lands brought religious freedom to the empire as a whole.
