The
Mongol Empire emerged in the course of the 13th century by a series of conquests and invasions throughout
Central and
Western Asia, reaching
Eastern Europe by the 1240s. The speed and extent of territorial expansion parallels the
Hunnic/
Turkic conquests of the
Migration period (the 6th century
Turkic Khaganate).
The territorial gains of the Mongols persisted into the 15th century in Persia (Timurid dynasty) and in Russia (Tatar and Mongol raids), and into the 19th century in India (the Mughal Empire).
