Throughout the 1200s, the reach of the Mongol Empire sprawled out to cover every corner of Asia, and beyond. Chingez Khan and his progeny had dominated in a way unseen since the initial days of the Khilafa, some 5 centuries before. With its patented horse archers, cunning tactics and sheer brutality, the Mongols quickly overran much of the Islamic world. But within 40 years of Chingez’s death, his descendants would go to war with each other and subsequently split the empire into 4 parts. By the early 1400s, internal turmoil within the royal house and violent uprisings had diminished the Empire’s power. The Ilkhanate of Persia and Mesopotamia ceased to exist in the 1330s; the Golden Horde of Russia and Eastern Europe would soon encounter violent internal political disorder that was to directly put them at odds with Timur himself; the Yuan Dynasty of China would soon find themselves at the receiving end of major rebellions and uprisings; and lastly, the Chagatai Khanate of Central Asia had become divided in the 1340s.
