The leader of the Mongols is the famous Genghis Khan. They claimed 24,000,000 square kilometers and called it the Mongol Empire.
The Mongols and the Tanguts had a trade dispute primarily over the control of trade routes and tariffs. The Tanguts, who established the Xi Xia kingdom, wanted to maintain their sovereignty and economic independence, while the Mongols sought to expand their influence and access to lucrative trade. Tensions escalated as the Mongols demanded greater tribute and concessions, leading to conflicts that ultimately contributed to the Mongol conquest of the Tangut territory. This dispute was part of the broader dynamics of power and commerce in the region during the 13th century.
Various areas of what is considered China today where under the control of different nomadic groups during this time, including the Jin, Xixia, and Mongols. The Mongols ultimately succeeded in conquering all of the China and establishing the Yuan Dynasty in 1271.
Before 1259, the region that never fell under Mongol control was Japan. Despite attempts by the Mongols to invade in 1274 and 1281, both invasions were thwarted, largely due to typhoons that destroyed much of the Mongol fleet, leading to the concept of "kamikaze" or divine winds. As a result, Japan successfully remained independent from Mongol rule during that period.
The first appearance of a military patronage state was around 1258 after the Mongols sacked Baghdad from the Muslims. This was shortly after the Crusades and the Muslim armies were fatigued and weakened. No one expected the Mongols to come through the way they did and defeat one of the great powers of the time. As a way of maintaining control over the territories they had recently acquired the Mongols developed what would come to be known as a system of ruling called "military patron states." Because the Mongols were nomadic herdsman they would pillage a city (often with devastating death counts and brutality) and then move forward to the next city. The conquered city was then left to rule itself with one catch, they had to pledge patronage to the Mongols military force.
In the 1200s, the Mongols, under the leadership of Genghis Khan, sought to expand their territory and power by attacking various regions. One of their significant early campaigns was against the Khwarezmian Empire in 1219, following a breakdown in relations after trade disputes. This invasion marked a pivotal moment, as it led to the rapid and brutal conquest of much of Central Asia and parts of the Middle East. The Mongols aimed to establish dominance over trade routes and expand their influence across the region.

The Mongols attacked Kaffa in 1346 as part of their broader campaign to expand their territory and control trade routes in the Black Sea region. The city was a flourishing trading hub, and its capture would enable the Mongols to disrupt trade and assert dominance over the region. Additionally, the siege is notable for its role in the spread of the Black Death, as infected corpses were reportedly catapulted into the city, contributing to the plague's transmission to Europe.
Ivan the Terrible drove the Mongols out of Russia and established control over western Siberia.

Mongols were/are a group of people in China who maruaded back in the day. Generally tore the place up to control it.
Mongolia's control of China, particularly during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), was marked by a centralized bureaucratic system that integrated Mongol and Chinese administrative practices. The Mongols implemented a stratified society, placing Mongols at the top while incorporating Chinese officials to maintain stability and governance. This dual approach allowed the Mongols to effectively rule over a vast and diverse population while promoting trade and cultural exchange across the region.
Mongols
it was difficult for the mongols to control their empire because after Genghis Khan died, all of his sons and grandsons took control which was crazy, and the empire split into individual little empires all over which obviously didnt work
