Mongol+Empire



The Mongol empire grew out of **nomadic tribes** of central asia. **Temujin** united the nomadic tribes, and from steppe warrior diplomacy, was named **Chinggis Khan**. He picked leaders by loyalty or battle skill, led to a confederation that was more united and less troubled than others. They used **equestrian skills** and false retreats to defeat enemies. Mongol empire increased **Eurasian trade**, **diplomatic communication**, and a **source for missonaries** to travel. Defecit spending and rebellious subjects caused the Mongol empire to collapse. After Chinggis khan's empire, his heirs divided the empire into regional empires, aka **khanates**. **Kubilai Khan** accepted his territories' local cultures and consolidated the Mongol empire in only China and created the **Yuan Dynasty**, where the rulers was seperated and ignored the lower classes in general.The **Golden Horde** conquered Russia and steppe lands, as well as most of western Europe. Khubilai's brother **Hulegu** destroyed Abbasid empire and established Mongol **ilkhanate in Persia**. The persians were allowed to administrate themselves, but under the Mongol taxation and order. After the Mongols,**Tamerlane** conquered much of Mongol land in the middle east, but only conquered, not governed, and it collapsed. Tamerlane's empire developed into the **Ottoman** empire, ruled by Turks that migrated from Mongol lands. After conquering Constantinople (and renaming it **Instanbul**), the Byzantine began collapsing and Ottomans began increasing.
