The leader of the Mongols is the famous Genghis Khan. They claimed 24,000,000 square kilometers and called it the Mongol Empire.
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.
Kiev is Slavic in origin and thought to originate from Kii meaning "bat" or Kij meaning "pole" indicating a palisaded settlement.
