    The Mongol leaders also contributed greatly to their success. Khan (known as Great Khan), the very powerful military leader, didn’t tolerate the defiance of others “if you do not obey the command of Heaven, and run counter to our orders we shall know that you are our foe,” (Doc: 9).

Chinggis Khan was also a brutal leader, “he sent soldiers out against those of…

This period is called pax Mongolica or “the Mongolian peace.” Kubilai expanded his holdings in China by defeating the Sung Empire and establishing a new dynasty called the Yuan Dynasty. For the first time in three hundred years China was once again a united country. The Mongols were a very strong empire and through their…
