This episode of Ten Minute History (like a
documentary, only shorter) covers the situation in the Eastern Steppe and the
inter-tribal warfare there which saw the ascendancy of the Mongols. Led by
Genghis Khan they waged a series of wars which over the course of decades saw
the Mongol Empire become the largest contiguous empire in all of human history.
Of course, the empire soon fell into civil war and from that came Khubilai
Khan, whose policies earned him a reputation as a skilled and competent ruler.
Recommended Reading: John Man - The Mongol
Empire: Genghis Khan, His Heirs and the Founding of Modern China. This book is
a fantastic detailed overview of the empire and the Yuan dynasty. Has a great
chapter on the Mongol's legacy.
Morris Rossabi - The Mongols: A Very Short
Introduction. I always recommend these books but that's because they're great.
This one has some issues with its structure but for its price point it's
phenomenal.
Grateful thanks to TEN MINUTE
