How the westward expansion of the Mongol Empire stopped

The two teams, the north fought as far as the Danube Valley and even Germany, and the south fought to the Arabian Peninsula, because of the changes in the domestic situation, the Great Khan fell ill and died, the sons competed for the throne, and most of the main forces abroad returned home, leaving only the puppet regime.

encountered strong resistance, and fought too far, which is also the reason why there is no way to continue to replenish combat power.

The Mongol Empire, which swept all the way, chose to go west to conquer the Central Plains as a choice after strategy and comparison. The western expedition was much easier than the attack on the Central Plains, and the materials were more abundant.

Mainly because the Mongol Empire wanted to expand its territory, but also to plunder resources.

The Mongols launched three expeditions to the west, but only the first was fought by Genghis Khan. Said on the banks of the Danube was in the second, and the second was led by the sons of Genghis Khan, who at that time was already hanging.

Let's start with the First Expedition to the West. Khwarazm soldiers killed a team of Mongolian merchants in order to seek money, Genghis Khan sent an envoy to negotiate and asked Khwarazm to hand over **, but not only was he refused, but even the messenger was killed by King Khorezm, in a fit of rage, Genghis Khan sent 200,000 troops to attack Khorezm, although Khorezm claimed to have 400,000 troops, but it was not at all the opponent of the elite Mongolian army, and the Mongolian iron cavalry and firearms (that is, firearms, yes) were defeated. In pursuit of the King of Khorezm, the Mongol army swept through Russia and Ukraine, reaching as far as Kiev (the capital of Ukraine).

Then we talk about the ...... of the Second Expedition to the WestBut it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Genghis Khan.

In order to quell the resurgence of Khwarazm, the descendants of the Great Khan launched a second expedition to the west. The route of this march was along the Altai Mountains to destroy the Mongols in Buriar, Kipchak, and invade Russia. The deployment of the commander Batu was to invade Poland in the north, Hungary in the west, and cross the Danube River into Italy in the south, heading directly to Venice.

Soon after the dispatch of troops, the Polish and Germanic armies were defeated at Ligniz, and then, in the face of the self-help coalition organized by the European countries, the Mongol army was still invincible, capturing the commander of the coalition army, Henry II. Batu went on to conquer Hungary and Russia. ——This great war that shook the past and the present was fought all the way to Austria and Hungary, and the blood stained the Danube, which can be called the most feudal war.

The Mongol Empire's westward expedition to Austria and Hungary was blood-stained on the Danube, which can be called the most feudal war. In 1242, when the news of Ogedei's death came, Batu led his army east to fight for the succession to the throne. This was the westernmost point where the Mongol army went.

Once to the Nile Valley in Egypt, once to the Lane River Valley, to break through Berlin, and once only to Western Asia.

It is impossible for an empire to rise suddenly!

Mongolia is a people on the steppe, and its rise should be viewed from both itself and the Central Plains Dynasty at that time. It's definitely a boom and a bust.

You can read the history books for yourself, I won't type it out here.

Reasons: 1, the accident in the history of Bai made the originally scattered Mongols unification under the leadership of Timuzhizhen. 2. Temujin's own version had far-sighted, powerful and rich military leadership.

3. The large influx of Han Chinese brought advanced production technology to the Mongols. 4. The Mongols have gained great wealth from foreign invasions, thus giving the Mongols more material to train their armies and strengthen their military strength.

Objective factors: the temperature rose in the Middle Ages, and the grassland was more suitable for grass growth, and the grass grew and the horses were fat.

The bloody nature of the nation and the martial habits.

Strong leaders and iron-blooded armies and people.

As far as the Danube River Basin.

The Mongols made three expeditions to the west, the first of which was the capture of Khorezm in Central Asia, which is equivalent to present-day Afghanistan and Iran and Pakistan. The second hit in a northwesterly direction, captured Moscow, and reached as far as the Danube. The third attack on the Middle East was fought to the border with Egypt, and later the Mongols used these lands to establish the Golden Horde (ruling Russia and Transcaucasia), the Ögedai Khanate (ruling the former Khorazm), and the Chagatai Khanate.

In the winter of December 1241, the Mongol expeditionary army, which had swept through most of Eurasia, conquered the old capital of the Kingdom of Hungary on the Danube. The Hun king Bella fled south in panic, and the commander Batu ordered the general Hedan to chase after him. The Hedan army arrived on the Adriatic Sea at the beginning of the following year and plundered the cities of Sparato and Cataro (in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina).

In March, Hedandong also ended the 10,000-mile expedition.
