Mongols

The Mongols, fierce nomadic people from Central and Northern Asia, thrived in harsh environments as expert horse riders, relying on herding, trade, and conquest to survive. Under the leadership of Genghis Khan, also known as the "Universal Ruler," they conquered vast territories, including China, utilizing mobility, brutality, and psychological warfare. After Genghis Khan's death, Kublai Khan further expanded the empire, integrating Mongolian and Chinese cultures while maintaining separation. The Mongol Empire, marked by strict organization and discipline, ultimately transformed trade and facilitated cross-cultural exchanges.
