As a result, it is, for example, kosher to theorise the Persian state under the Mongols (the Ilkhanate, 1236-1355) but not the polity from which those very same Mongols actually launched their takeover, namely the Mongol Empire, or the polity to its west with which the Ilkhanate was forever quarrelling, the Golden Horde (who knew themselves as the ‘Kipchak Khanate’). Neumann, I., & Wigen, E. (2018). The Steppe As the Great Unknown. In The Steppe Tradition in International Relations: Russians, Turks and European State Building 4000 BCE-2017 CE (pp. 26-63). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. doi:10.1017/9781108355308.004 Popularly called The Golden Horde, the domains of the heirs of Jochi were not known by that name. The term ‘Golden Horde’ does not enter the sources until the sixteenth century, when Russian chroniclers referred to the domains as Zolotaia Orda, the Golden Camp or Palace.¹ During the Mongol era, they were known as the Kipchak Ulus or Khanate or the Jochid Ulus or Khanate. The Kipchak Khanate appellation came later and was a substitution for the Dasht-i Kipchak, or the Kipchak Steppes.

I find it very interesting that the Mongol and Roman Empires respectively had similar declines but from opposite sides. Roman imperium began with an Imperial dynasty from which legitimacy came and gradually the military took more and more of a role in choosing who would be emperor. The Mongols began with the army choosing the next ruler and drifting away from that towards imperial dynasties. 🤔

The Kazakh Khanate was a direct descendant of the Mongol Empire. From the moment of formation in 1457 until the collapse in 1822, all the khans of the Kazakh Khanate were from the Tore clan. This clan is the direct descendants of Genghis Khan, from his eldest son Zhoshy. Many Mongol tribes that invaded Central Asia in 1210-1220 then assimilated into the Turkic linguistic and cultural environment, and by the 15th century the Turkic and Mongol tribes finally mixed up. The Kazakh Khanate was a confederation of precisely these tribes. For example, I am a Kazakh, born in the South-East of Kazakhstan. I am from the Zhalaiyr tribe, whose representatives were mentioned in the video. I am from the Zhalaiyr tribe (translated as "tearing the horse's mane"), subgenus Akbuyim. The Zhalaiyrs as part of the Kazakhs are the descendants of the medieval Dzhalairs. V.V. Bartold referred the ethnonym Jalair to the number of names of "genera of originally Mongolian origin". As I.P. Petrushevsky wrote, with a high degree of probability it can be argued that the Jalairs of the 13th century. belonged to the Mongol-speaking tribes. The closest comrade-in-arms and commander of Genghis Khan Mukhali was from this tribe. In the 13th century, our then Mongol-speaking tribe arrived in this area from Western Mongolia. Further, during the formation of the Kazakh Khanate, they became part of it. The Kazakhs include many such tribes, when you were former Mongols or Mongol-speaking. Now various Turkic and Mongol tribes make up the Kazakh people. Here is the answer to the question "where did the Mongols disappear?". They didn't disappear. Their descendants live throughout the steppe zone of Asia, as part of various once nomadic tribes who adopted the Turkic language because of its dominance and prevalence in trade along the Silk Road. Everything that I have just written is not fiction, you can read about the composition of the then Mongols of the 13th century and compare it with the list of tribes that make up the Kazakh people.

Strong people bring easy times. Easy times breed soft people. And then soft people bring hard times. And the wheel turns this way. I have the luxury of being a soft man, unable to imagine the strengths required to do what these people did, but if we were both born in 13th century Mongolia, we'd either die in childhood or be strong enough to follow our Khan.

It was a great pleasure to hear about the history of the Golden Horde stripped away from the layer of myths we were told at history lessons in Russia. People like Mamay or Ahmed Khan are poured into us without historical context or pretext, Kazan, Astrakhan and Crimean Khanate are just given, as if they were there for the Muscovite princes/tsars to be captured, and the tribute/gift of Russian tsars to the Crimea that lasted well into XVIII century is omitted. It is also worth mentioning that, just like Mughal Timurids of India, Moscow princes, starting with the Novgorod knyaz Alexandre Nevski, were actually gurgans i.e. they were married to or descended from Genghisid princesses. If you look at the reconstruction of Ivan IV skull, his Mongoloid appearance is unmistakable - just a good deal of Mongol blood is unmistakable my own family.

After Kublai’s death in 1294, the Mongol Empire fragmented. Many of his successors were inept, and none attained Kublai’s stature. From 1300 on disputes over succession weakened the central government in China, and there were frequent rebellions. The Yuan Dynasty fell in 1368, overthrown by the Chinese rebel leader Zhu Yuanzhang, The most enduring part of the Mongol Empire proved to be the Golden Horde. It had begun to decline significantly in the mid-14th century

[@grimgoreironhide9985]

Golden Horde survived longer due to infighting between the Russians and Slavs. They also occupied the Steppe which helped to maintain their lifestyle and culture. However, the ethnic Mongols were slowly usurped by the Kypchaks due to intermarriage and Turkic influence due to higher Turkic population. The majority of the Steppe population of the Golden Horde were Kypchaks and they unintentionally caused the Golden Horde to transform unofficially back to the Kypchak Confederation. The Golden Horde was Mongol all but in name during its last years.

The real reason it fell was the other kingdoms stopped killing their envoys

[@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive]

Interesting. Thank you 👍🏾

[@mattf9627]

So basically how each of them fell was… Ilkhanate: Inbreeding/lack of heirs Chagatai: Khanate split in 2 and rise of Timur relegated Chagatai’s to one part until that part was taken in the 1700’s Yuan Dynasty: Environmental disasters and rise of the Ming Dynasty Golden Horde: Became decentralized after the death of Edigu and rise of Russia eventually took over the Horde and other decentralized khanates around them.

شكراً..هذا ما كنت انا بحاجة إليه

[@youaintready1006]

The only thing I'll add to this excellent video is that while Kublai's usurpation was "officially" illegal since it wasn't a kurultai, let's not forget that Genghis himself likely would have approved of this move in spirit. Temujin killed his older brother, who would have rightfully been the head of the house when he was a teenager. He also made sure that before he ever called the kurultai in which he was proclaimed Genghis Khan, he eliminated any who might 'nay' his claim to that title. Ariq did not do the same, and his stronger brother prevailed. Very Genghis move if you ask me on Kublai's part. Genghis had a very 'the strong should lead with strength' mentality.

As a result, it is, for example, kosher to theorise the Persian state under the Mongols (the Ilkhanate, 1236-1355) but not the polity from which those very same Mongols actually launched their takeover, namely the Mongol Empire, or the polity to its west with which the Ilkhanate was forever quarrelling, the Golden Horde (who knew themselves as the ‘Kipchak Khanate’).

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. doi:10.1017/9781108355308.004 Popularly called The Golden Horde, the domains of the heirs of Jochi were not known by that name. The term ‘Golden Horde’ does not enter the sources until the sixteenth century, when Russian chroniclers referred to the domains as Zolotaia Orda, the Golden Camp or Palace.¹ During the Mongol era, they were known as the Kipchak Ulus or Khanate or the Jochid Ulus or Khanate. The Kipchak Khanate appellation came later and was a substitution for the Dasht-i Kipchak, or the Kipchak Steppes.

Korea was subjugated by Khan army. I still remember the stories of 500 children roped and transported through the snowy mountains to northward to be trained to become Khan’s future soldiers. I also read that some of the escapees had their hands drilled with a hole to insert rope through it to set an example to other children what could happen in attempt of escape during travel. Not sure how accurate it is.

[@SA2004YG]

We have similar stories in eastern Europe as well. If you tried to run away than the Mongols sliced open your feet and stuffed them full of dirt before sewing them back up

[@bruceyung70]

@@SA2004YG I read that similar practice is still done in Africa I believe but intention is to heal not punishment. The dirt or mud on a open wounds can have healing effect from the germs that could be very harmful but I’m not sure how this fits into your story but if they took effort in “sewing” then it was probably to close the wound(s)?

Their brutality is not surprising. Like the Huns 900 years before them or Gog and Magog 1800 years before them. I wonder what other scourge from north Asia that will descend upon us in about 100 years from now according to historical estimation.

This compilation video really feels like the end of a long story of Mongol Empire that was started by K&G years ago (2019, I think). But there is still so much more to talk about the sucessors of Genghis (especially Timurids and Mughals). One era may have ended and a new one is about to begin.
