after his death his son Ögedei Khan took charge of the empire. By 1279 Ogedei had conquered all of China.

Then, in the late 1230s, the Mongols under Batu Khan invaded Russia and Volga Bulgaria

Greatest extent of the Mongol Empire:

Gee look how close they came to Greece. We could all have been kinezi today if they hadnt stopped. Yikes!!!!!!

Actually not the direct conquest of Khan but the seeds of it did invade Greece. They were and are called Turks. Turks originate from the Mongolian region. A nomad nation of 150 million (now) in total followed and allied with the Mongols (because of their common thurst for new lands and their common descent).

Turks are mongolian spawn.

thats intresting read.
