We deep dive into the rise and expansion of the Mongol Empire, led by Genghis Khan and his successors. It details their military campaigns, including conquests in China, Persia, and parts of Europe, while also addressing the empire's administration and societal changes. The transcript examines the Mongols' innovative military tactics and their impact on conquered populations, revealing both destruction and cultural exchange. Internal power struggles, such as the conflict between Kublai Khan and Arik Boke, led to fragmentation, marking a turning point. Ultimately, the Yuan Dynasty in China collapsed, signalling the decline of Mongol power, as subsequent failures in Japan and Burma further diminished the empire's reach. The text explores the long-lasting consequences of Mongol conquests, from cultural fusion to the spread of disease.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
