How a single leader united the steppe to build history's largest land empire
In short: Discover how scattered nomadic groups were transformed into a massive power that stretched from Korea to Ukraine. This video traces the meteoric rise and eventual fall of the Mongol Empire.
Anne F. Broadbridge explores the evolution of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous land empire in history. Forged on the open plains, this vast territory reached from Siberia to southern China and from Korea to Ukraine.
The empire's foundation began in the 12th-century East Asian steppe, where nomadic groups lived in scattered communities. By 1206, these groups were united under the leadership of Temujin, known as Genghis Khan.
