Mongolian Empire

The Mongol Empire emerged from the unification of Mongol and Turkic tribes of historical Mongolia under the leadership of Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan was proclaimed ruler of all Mongols in 1206. The empire grew rapidly under his rule and then under the rule of his descendants, who sent invasions in every direction.

The Mongolian Empire was not to be trifled with! Genghis Khan and his followers conquered a vast part of Asia, Europe, and beyond. There aren’t many people who haven’t heard of these conquerors and their achievement. How did the Mongol Empire grow so big? How did they treat their enemies? And how come Mongolia is an area with such a small population now? These questions, and many others, will be answered in this historical guide. Their dominance, their attitude, and their culture will be explained, as well as their practices of war, and various other parts of their society.

Mandukhai dedicated years to raising Dayan to become Great Khan. But trust is tenuous when buried secrets rise to the surface. Old enemies close in. New enemies arise. And Mandukhai faces one of her toughest hardships just as her vision is nearly complete...a crisis that could undo everything she has worked for all of her life.

You are in luck, because you are getting extra material out of this combo. The following topics are going to be addressed: the Akkadian Empire, one of the oldest civilizations we know of, dating back to a few thousand years BC; the Byzantine Empire, a vast empire that lasted for hundreds of years and has had a major impact on the world religions and politics even into the past century; the Mongolian Empire, which was not to be trifled with; and the Ottoman Empire, which was so big and lasted for so long, yet it is one of those empires that many common people have forgotten about.

About 225 miles west of Ulaanbaatar, the present-day capital city of Mongolia, are the ruins of Karakorum, the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire. Located in the Orkhon River Valley, at the foot of the Khangai Mountain range, the city was founded by Genghis Khan in 1220 CE. Under his son and successor, Ögedei Khan, Karakorum grew into a thriving city, with high walls enclosing an urban landscape of brick-built structures and paved roads, divided into different districts with a palace, craft workshops, and marketplaces.

Mandukhai has been given a sacred mission by the spirit of Genghis Khan, but to preserve his empire, she first must keep the Mongol Lords from raising the black banner of war. In a nation torn apart by powerful men, one woman rises. Hear the second book in this award-winning, gritty, dark true story of the life of Mandukhai.

Mandukhai inherited a fractured nation. Now, she must turn it into a whole empire. Manduul Khan is dead, and he named Mandukhai queen regent until a new great Khan is selected. This should be a simple matter of choosing the man who stole her heart long ago, but the spirit of Genghis and his cryptic promise makes one thing abundantly clear: The fate of the Mongol Nation cannot be decided by the whims of her heart.

Genghis Khan united a nation and created a vast empire for his heirs. But after 200 years of civil war, his empire has fallen into the dark ages. Mandukhai dreams of being a fierce warrior woman, but her dreams are shattered when she is forced to become the second wife to the Great Khan.
