Empire established by Genghis Khan, who
extended his domains from Russia to N China
and became khan of the Mongol tribes in 1206.
His grandson Kublai Khan conquered China and
used foreigners such as Marco Polo as well as
subjects to administer his empire. The
Mongols lost China 1367 and suffered defeats
in the West 1380; the empire broke up soon
afterwards.
