The+Mongolian+Empire

The Mongolian Empire was an Empire stretching over Mongolia, China, Japan, Iran and Russia, lasting from 1206 AD to 1368 AD. The Mongolian Empire is well known for establishing and maintaining the largest Empire in history. The first and most famous ruler of the Mongolian Empire was Genghis Khan, who united the arguing tribes of Mongolia, conquered land for their people to live in and built up a large and strong army that devastated the Chinese and Persian kingdoms. Genghis Khan was a ruler known for his cruelty and once slaughtered every soul of a Persian city before piling the skulls into a great pyramid that warned any other Persians to keep away. The Mongols lived in little round huts called yurts that were made from a sturdy wooden frame that was covered in felt made of sheep’s wool. The Mongols were nomadic people, meaning they often moved about to find better farming places as the seasons changed. Their huts were collapsible and easy to carry. The Mongols ate two different kinds of food, red food, which is usually meat, and white food, which is mostly dairy products, such as goat’s milk. The Mongolian Empire fell simply because it was too big for its own good. The Black Death had spread across Mongolia and killed millions, and after, groups of non-Mongol leaders fought over power, which pushed the Mongols back to Mongolia where they were split into smaller Mongolian tribes, until in the 17th century when China conquered the southern parts of Mongolia and when 100 years later, Russia absorbed the remaining parts of Mongolia, bringing down history’s largest Empire.
