Mongol Domination Of Chin Genghis Khan And The Mongols
Mongol domination of China lasted from 1211 until 1368. Mongol clans existed in Mongolia for a long time before, but Genghis Khan was the first to have the idea to take over other nations.
Khan was allied with the Mongols and when he was poisoned by a rival clan his son allied with the Mongols. In 1206 he unified the Mongols into a single confederation. His son was Genghis Khan, who put the Mongols on the map as a force to be reckoned with. He created an army with no tribal affiliations and he chose officials based on talent and loyalty rather than money. The members of the Mongol army were skilled archers on horseback. When they conquered cities, those cities that surrendered may have been spared to join them or used as human shield in future
