      As a result, it is, for example, kosher to theorise the Persian state under the Mongols (the Ilkhanate, 1236-1355) but not the polity from which those very same Mongols actually launched their takeover, namely the Mongol Empire, or the polity to its west with which the Ilkhanate was forever quarrelling, the Golden Horde (who knew themselves as the ‘Kipchak Khanate’).
      Neumann, I., & Wigen, E. (2018). The Steppe As the Great Unknown. In The Steppe Tradition in International Relations: Russians, Turks and European State Building 4000 BCE-2017 CE (pp. 26-63). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. doi:10.1017/9781108355308.004
      Popularly called The Golden Horde, the domains of the heirs of Jochi were not known by that name. The term ‘Golden Horde’ does not enter the sources until the sixteenth century, when Russian chroniclers referred to the domains as Zolotaia Orda, the Golden Camp or Palace.¹ During the Mongol era, they were known as the Kipchak Ulus or Khanate or the Jochid Ulus or Khanate. The Kipchak Khanate appellation came later and was a substitution for the Dasht-i Kipchak, or the Kipchak Steppes.

    So basically how each of them fell was…
    Ilkhanate: Inbreeding/lack of heirs
    Chagatai: Khanate split in 2 and rise of Timur relegated Chagatai’s to one part until that part was taken in the 1700’s
    Yuan Dynasty: Environmental disasters and rise of the Ming Dynasty
    Golden Horde: Became decentralized after the death of Edigu and rise of Russia eventually took over the Horde and other decentralized khanates around them.

He has a deep appreciation for Mongolian culture, is a skilled writer but unfortunately, the book itself is full of (often basic) errors, poor argument and just bad history(or over-reliance on out of date historical works). But it sold really, really well, which makes people think its corresponding a high quality historical work.

    I find it very interesting that the Mongol and Roman Empires respectively had similar declines but from opposite sides. Roman imperium began with an Imperial dynasty from which legitimacy came and gradually the military took more and more of a role in choosing who would be emperor. The Mongols began with the army choosing the next ruler and drifting away from that towards imperial dynasties. 🤔

    The Kazakh Khanate was a direct descendant of the Mongol Empire. From the moment of formation in 1457 until the collapse in 1822, all the khans of the Kazakh Khanate were from the Tore clan. This clan is the direct descendants of Genghis Khan, from his eldest son Zhoshy. Many Mongol tribes that invaded Central Asia in 1210-1220 then assimilated into the Turkic linguistic and cultural environment, and by the 15th century the Turkic and Mongol tribes finally mixed up. The Kazakh Khanate was a confederation of precisely these tribes. For example, I am a Kazakh, born in the South-East of Kazakhstan. I am from the Zhalaiyr tribe, whose representatives were mentioned in the video. I am from the Zhalaiyr tribe (translated as "tearing the horse's mane"), subgenus Akbuyim. The Zhalaiyrs as part of the Kazakhs are the descendants of the medieval Dzhalairs. V.V. Bartold referred the ethnonym Jalair to the number of names of "genera of originally Mongolian origin". As I.P. Petrushevsky wrote, with a high degree of probability it can be argued that the Jalairs of the 13th century. belonged to the Mongol-speaking tribes. The closest comrade-in-arms and commander of Genghis Khan Mukhali was from this tribe. In the 13th century, our then Mongol-speaking tribe arrived in this area from Western Mongolia. Further, during the formation of the Kazakh Khanate, they became part of it. The Kazakhs include many such tribes, when you were former Mongols or Mongol-speaking. Now various Turkic and Mongol tribes make up the Kazakh people. Here is the answer to the question "where did the Mongols disappear?". They didn't disappear. Their descendants live throughout the steppe zone of Asia, as part of various once nomadic tribes who adopted the Turkic language because of its dominance and prevalence in trade along the Silk Road. Everything that I have just written is not fiction, you can read about the composition of the then Mongols of the 13th century and compare it with the list of tribes that make up the Kazakh people.

    It was a great pleasure to hear about the history of the Golden Horde stripped away from the layer of myths we were told at history lessons in Russia. People like Mamay or Ahmed Khan are poured into us without historical context or pretext, Kazan, Astrakhan and Crimean Khanate are just given, as if they were there for the Muscovite princes/tsars to be captured, and the tribute/gift of Russian tsars to the Crimea that lasted well into XVIII century is omitted.
    It is also worth mentioning that, just like Mughal Timurids of India, Moscow princes, starting with the Novgorod knyaz Alexandre Nevski, were actually gurgans i.e. they were married to or descended from Genghisid princesses. If you look at the reconstruction of Ivan IV skull, his Mongoloid appearance is unmistakable - just a good deal of Mongol blood is unmistakable my own family.

      Easy times breed soft people.

    After Kublai’s death in 1294, the Mongol Empire fragmented. Many of his successors were inept, and none attained Kublai’s stature. From 1300 on disputes over succession weakened the central government in China, and there were frequent rebellions. The Yuan Dynasty fell in 1368, overthrown by the Chinese rebel leader Zhu Yuanzhang, The most enduring part of the Mongol Empire proved to be the Golden Horde. It had begun to decline significantly in the mid-14th century

      Golden Horde survived longer due to infighting between the Russians and Slavs. They also occupied the Steppe which helped to maintain their lifestyle and culture. However, the ethnic Mongols were slowly usurped by the Kypchaks due to intermarriage and Turkic influence due to higher Turkic population. The majority of the Steppe population of the Golden Horde were Kypchaks and they unintentionally caused the Golden Horde to transform unofficially back to the Kypchak Confederation. The Golden Horde was Mongol all but in name during its last years.

    Popularly called The Golden Horde, the domains of the heirs of Jochi were not known by that name. The term ‘Golden Horde’ does not enter the sources until the sixteenth century, when Russian chroniclers referred to the domains as Zolotaia Orda, the Golden Camp or Palace.¹ During the Mongol era, they were known as the Kipchak Ulus or Khanate or the Jochid Ulus or Khanate. The Kipchak Khanate appellation came later and was a substitution for the Dasht-i Kipchak, or the Kipchak Steppes.

    The only thing I'll add to this excellent video is that while Kublai's usurpation was "officially" illegal since it wasn't a kurultai, let's not forget that Genghis himself likely would have approved of this move in spirit. Temujin killed his older brother, who would have rightfully been the head of the house when he was a teenager. He also made sure that before he ever called the kurultai in which he was proclaimed Genghis Khan, he eliminated any who might 'nay' his claim to that title. Ariq did not do the same, and his stronger brother prevailed. Very Genghis move if you ask me on Kublai's part. Genghis had a very 'the strong should lead with strength' mentality.

    I've been subscribed since the Battle of Trafalgar (no, not since 1805, you know what I mean) and together with creators like HistoryMarche, Epic History TV, Historia Civilis and many others, I've been convinced for years that television simply cannot compete, except for some obvious classics like Shoah, World at War, The Civil War (Ken Burns), Apocalypse: La premiere guerre mondiale etc, I'm just deflated anytime I turn on Discovery or the History channel. On the off chance (5%) that they actually have something historical, it's usually some generic talking head formulaic trash that you just know was made without any love going in to it. Shame on them for being easily bested by dudes making history docs without any large studio or network backing them up, shame.
