What’s amazing is that Mongolia was such a power but is irrelevant today. Hell you never even hear about that place

Gunpowder being used for military use and ocean going vessels. These things allowed people to negate the advantage their horse skills gave them and allowed people a way to simply say “frick it I’m not dealing with you. I’ll go around.”

it's not really amazing

they were irrelevant up until a great steppe leader took over and once he died, became irrelevant again

the Mongols under the Khans only became great when they conquered lands with the infrastructure to sustain the empire over time

Because once Stalin made them a vassal he deposed the last remaining member of the Khans in power. Communists ruin everything folks including the Mongolians

Best thing to come out of Mongolia in a thousand years is the band “The Hu”.
