The Entire History of The Mongol Empire: From Outcast to World Conqueror | Forgotten Civilization

How did an outcast boy build history's largest empire? A forgotten civilization united continents through law and terror. Rising from the Eurasian steppe, this forgotten civilization reorganized nomadic tribes into an unmatched military force under Genghis Khan. From China to Europe, the empire secured continental trade routes under the Pax Mongolica. Yet behind this legal order lay devastating sieges and succession crises that divided the realm.
