The Mongol Empire's Ruler, Chinggis Khan, guided the Mongols as to where they were going to expand their empire.
Yes!!! We can control the Russians from our beloved steppes!!!

Where is everyone???
After the Mongols conquered China, they went on to conquer Persia in order to further expand their Mongol Empire.
Last but not least, the Mongols further expanded their empire to Russia, controlling the Russians from the steppes where the Mongols lived.
After the Mongols tried to conquer all of Central Asia, they continued to influence many cultural and economical aspects across Asia, but, later on, the Mongol Empire died off.
