The earliest reference to the Mongols classifies them as a Tang dynasty tribe of Shiwei during the eighth century. It was only after the fall of the Liao dynasty in 1125 that they became an important tribe on the Central Asian steppe, but tribal wars weakened their power over the ensuing century. During the thirteenth century, the term Mongol was used to refer to the Mongolic and Turkic tribes who fell under the control of Genghis Khan. The Mongols are primarily a shamanist society; their central deity is the sky god Tenger.
The eastern chagatai khanate lasted much longer than the western chagatai khanate, as it was suceeded by Moghulistan and Yarkent Khanate. Yarkent fell in 1705, while Moghulistan became the Kumul Khanate which fell in 1930.

The name Mongol appeared first in the eighth-century Chinese records of the Tang dynasty, but only resurfaced in the eleventh century during the rule of the Khitan. At first, it was applied to some small and insignificant nomadic tribes in the area of the Onon River. In the thirteenth century, however, the name Mongol grew into an umbrella term for a large group of Mongolic and Turkic tribes united under the rule of Genghis Khan. It is not clear what the Mongols called themselves in their own languages. In fact, the specific origin of the Mongolic languages is unclear. Some linguists have proposed a link to languages like Tungusic and Turkic, which are often included alongside Mongolic in a hypothetical language group called “Altaic languages”, but the evidence for this is rather weak.
Also Mengukuo, a Japanese WW2 puppet in Inner Mongolia, was ruled by a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, so technically the Mongol Empire fell in the 1940s.
Not to mention, that Babur's mother was a direct descendant of Genghis Khan ! Legitimising even more the Mughals' caim to being the successors of the Mongol Empire
The last successor of the Chagatai Khanate: And thus the mongol empire, was actually abolished in 1930. By then there was still a part of the Xinjiang province of china known as the Kumul Khanate ruled by Genghishids.
this video is incredible, i always take a look at central asia in eu and just look at the countries and get confused because i have no idea how were they founded or what became of them, but learning that the timurids and by extent the mughal empire are successors from the mongol empire is something i had no idea of i love watching your vids! keep the great content up :)
the real successor of the Mongol empire is the Dzungur Empire, but annexed by the Chineses, as long as the homeland of the Mongols in incorporated into China, it is meaningless for the Timurids or the Mughals to pretend,
proud to be a citizen of the Great British Khanate great video, some minor inaccuracies with the maps and it was a pity you didn't talk about Babur's failed attempts at taking and retaking Samarkand
Years ago I was watching Maro Polo on netflix. My father stopped by during a scene where the Mongols were abusing the Chinese people there. At that point dad says "Hey, the Chinese people are speaking the same dialect your grandparents used". Sometimes I wonder about who my great X 7-10 grandparents were
The Qing dynasty (and the Later Jin before that) was arguably a Mongol successor state too. In 1636, the Northern Yuan ruler would hand over the Mongol imperial seal, one of the central symbol of the Great Khan's authority, to the first Qing emperor Hong Taiji. The Qing rulers also called themselves Khan ("Han" )in their native Manchu language and would generally present themselves as a continuation of the Mongols when they dealt with Central Asia and Tibet. The Ming was technically a Yuan successor state too since they accepted the Yuan as a legitimate dynasty that the Ming had later replaced after the Yuan had lost the Mandate of Heaven.
@@user-Ihatepepperandonion No , Turkic people adopted many Mongol culture and loanwords . Timur was from Mongolian Barlas tribe and they were from proto Mongol origin .
Also the Shaybanids, actual legitimate successors of the Mongol Empire, while the Timurids they had overthrown only claimed to be prestigious maternal successors
All this totally flew past me while learning history at school. It was understandable but connected to nothing for me. I didn't know what meaning anything had on anything else. And the teacher was actually really good. I'm just watching it and remembering so much stuff

Kazakh is kipchaks not Mongols. Why even do kazakhs think they are mongols? hha Oirats, Khalkhas, Buryats speak Mongolic and true heirs of Chingis khan.

It is interesting that the 2nd biggest empire in history was ended by the biggest empire in history. Also PH, there were a few kingdoms in central asia that held out until russia conquered the area in the 1860's-70's, did any of them have connections to the mongols?
funny point with British India. However, it was the East India company which really conquered India, so by right of conquest they were the successors to the mughals (and therefore indirectly the Mongols) meaning that for a time the successor to the Mongol Empire was publically traded.
@@denvergamingzone9766 Chagatai was literally Genghis Khan's son they were only later Turkisized. They are just as mongol as the Persian speaking Ilkhanate or as Roman as the Greek speaking Byzantines.
@@fredrikkirderf2907 genghis Khan's son chagtai and the turkic clan chagtai are two different things. The turkic clan chagtai is either all turkic or turkic from paternal side and mongol from maternal side (as mentioned by babar) . In either way, they are not mongols.
@@denvergamingzone9766 I cant believe your arguing that a tribe LITERALY FOUNDED by Genghis Khan's son has no relation to the Mongol Empire while you have no problem with the East India company taking the title through right of conquest. It doesn't matter if their parentage is mostly (or even entirely) they were an important part of the empire and descended from the royal family therefore they're as much of a successor state as the Ilkhanate or Golden Horde.
Something to add. The 4 oirats created the dzungar khanate which fought against the khalkha mongols (modern day mongolia’s dominant tribe) in an on and off civil war for 400 years, ending with qing dynasty’s genocide of dzungar mongols, wiping them out. Some of the survivors migrated deep west into eastern europe creating the kalmyk khanate and is now known as kalmyks (meaning the “spillover” or “going away” in mongolian) in modern day russia. Kalmyks being one of the oirat tribes of 4 the oirats.
Turkic has always been a predominantly spoken language, used at the courts of the local rulers, in the army, by rural or nomadic populations, and as a lingua franca among the multiethnic tribal confederations. It was even the language of communication in the Mongol army. Turkic has also been a supra-regional language of communication among smaller communities of speakers of minority languages and a means of communication among people of different ethnic backgrounds in certain social and professional groups, e.g. the Bāzārī class in Teheran.
Were those names golden horde, chagatai, ilkhanate used by them at the time or just created by historians later on to distinguish them ? They are all Very cool names
The name chagatai came from the chagatai khanates first ruler Tchagatai Khan. The golden horde was originaly called Kypshak khanate, golden horde is what the russians called them due to their wealth and the khanate later adopted that name itself. The ilkhanate was always called ilkhanate afaik ever since the rule of halegu khan
The Mongol Empire had a rather interesting similarity to Rome's Rise, Decline, and collapse. The Mongols went from a irrelavent power in the middle of a region before conquerling literally everything they could. Like how Rome went from a City State to the Conquerers of the Italian Peninsula to the Mediterannean Superpower. They divided the empire in regions to keep the empire united but it didnt save the empire entirely since it still saw the eventual collapse of their empires. Both had their own eras of peace, the Pax Romana for the Romans and Pax Mongolica for the Mongols thanks to their massive power on the region they dominated in. The Yuan was similar to the Byzantines. The Byzantines were technically the Roman Empire [controversial!] and the Yuan was technically the Mongol Empire and held the capital of their respective empires. Constantinople for Byzantium, Khanbaliq for Yuan. Unlike popular misconcepction, the Mongol Empire had the World's Largest Navy under Kublai Khan's rule. Yet the only reason nobody remembers it is due to the fact most of it was destroyed during the many very successful attempts at conquering Japan due to Typhoons, Just like how Rome had their fleets destroyed due to storms during the Punic Wars. Except unlike Mongolia, Rome conquered Carthage eventually. Both empires were overextended and eventually collapsed under their own weight. Vastly different cultures and peoples yet their empires had a similar rise and fall.
[Controversial!] Well no, no its not controversial about weither or not its a Roman Empire, the only controversy is weither or not it would be considered a successor to the Roman empire, or straight up the Roman empire. The historical answer is, straight up, the one known popularly is Successor state because not latin anymore.

P.S. near where my family still lives are the ruins of the capital of the Golden horde, Saray Sadly, it is not protected or cherished in any way, more so, the Russian influence kinda is forcing ppl to forget about it as many people in the region don't know about those ruins even😢
Kazakhstan is actually real successor of Chinggisid Empire since Kazakhs have all tribes who derived from Mongol army (most of those tribes were Turkic).
Kazakhstan is successor of Golden Khorde, actually tatars, bashkirs and crimea tatars are too, but they are occupied by Russia rn so technically we are only successors
Filled with error. - Last successor to the Khanate of Golden Horde, was Kazakh Khanate. It submitted to the authority of the Russian Tsar in 1847. - Your map is totally incorrect. British NEVER controlled entire South Asia. Go educate. They only had direct control over a smaller portion of the region. Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan were never under the British. In addition, there were 565 Autonomous "Princely States". They enjoyed a high degree of autonomy and were ruled by local Princes/rulers. Catch was, they had to remain "Ally" of the British and all decision regarding relations with foreign countries had to be consulted with the British. I can go on for much longer, that would be all for today. Pls correct.

The mughals were an Indian persianized sultanate. I personally think the last remnant of the Mongol empire is the Crimean khanate which was disestabilished in 1783.
Although the Turks often comprised the bulk of the Mongol army as well as the bulk of armies opposed to the Mongols, throughout the domains of the Mongol Empire there was a diffusion of military technology, which has already bee and also ethnic groups. In addition to the Mongols and Turks, other ethnicities served in the Mongol military machine and found themselves distant from home. May, T.M., 2012. The Mongol conquests in world history, London: Reaktion Books. p.222
1857, so the deposition of the last Mughal Emperor after the sepoq rebellion, which was a descendant of Babur, who broke off from the already dead Timurid empire, which was founded by Timur who broke off from the Chagathai Khanate, who were one of the Mongol Successor States?
What do you think would happen in Russian history if the Kingdom of the Kevin russ didn't fragment and was not conquered by the Mongols managed to fight them off it would give Russia a lot of Eastern territory and a bigger opportunity expansion
I guess every civilisation in history was a Mongol successor because every second I scroll in the comments, I learn that there were lot’s of states that were abolished in 1900’s were successor to Mongol Empire.
it should have been mentioned that the central asian state of khiva was the last succesor state lasting until the russian civil war when it was concoured by the boljseviks
You should make a alt history about what if the mongol empire never existed (Like if ghengis khan died early on or the chinise defeated the Mongols at the start of their conqeusts) it would be intresting to see the massive butterfly effect
Imagine making the largest continous land empire in human history only for your country to be reduced to a small desolate nation stuck between two massive ones.
no because it was a republic founded a century after their last genghishid ruler lost everything. By that logic is vietnam a successor state of the Han empire?

Sadly, it is not protected or cherished in any way, more so, the Russian influence kinda is forcing ppl to forget about it as many people in the region don't know about those ruins even😢
Take a shot everytime factionalism destroys an empire.
Kazakhstan is actually real successor of Chinggisid Empire since Kazakhs have all tribes who derived from Mongol army (most of those tribes were Turkic).
nice joke
Kazakhstan is successor of Golden Khorde, actually tatars, bashkirs and crimea tatars are too, but they are occupied by Russia rn so technically we are only successors
@@Yoshiro_saiki why do you think it's joke? I'm not trying to offend, I just ask, ✌️
@@Yoshiro_saikiwhat? You can search in Google Töre dynasty. My ancestor Abul-khair khan.
Plot twist: The mongol empire never existed, it was just some alternate history someone dreamed up, and is now being covered by Possible History
This will be a great conquest
The last Khanate was Kumul khanate in China that lasted until the 1930s.
Filled with error.
- Last successor to the Khanate of Golden Horde, was Kazakh Khanate. It submitted to the authority of the Russian Tsar in 1847.
- Your map is totally incorrect. British NEVER controlled entire South Asia. Go educate. They only had direct control over a smaller portion of the region. Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan were never under the British. In addition, there were 565 Autonomous "Princely States". They enjoyed a high degree of autonomy and were ruled by local Princes/rulers. Catch was, they had to remain "Ally" of the British and all decision regarding relations with foreign countries had to be consulted with the British. I can go on for much longer, that would be all for today. Pls correct.
As A Mongolian i shall ask, Why not Mongolia as successor? huh?
Because it not a real country just a border between Russia and China
It is definitely: but that's not interesting for non-mongols xD

Imagine if genghis khan set up a proper line of succession.
The mughals were an Indian persianized sultanate. I personally think the last remnant of the Mongol empire is the Crimean khanate which was disestabilished in 1783.
mughals were mongolo-turkic with Persian language and culture, not indian
Why didn’t they say about the Kazakh Khanate, which was larger than the Crimean Khanate?
I love the fact as I am Forming the Mongol empire in Rise of Nations, This gets uploaded for me.
Although the Turks often comprised the bulk of the Mongol army as well as the bulk of armies opposed to the Mongols, throughout the domains of the Mongol Empire there was a diffusion of military technology, which has already bee and also ethnic groups. In addition to the Mongols and Turks, other ethnicities served in the Mongol military machine and found themselves distant from home.

Nice video, but it would be much better if you would put on the screen the year that everything happened, or at least mention it more often.
Wow, amazing channel, cheers.
I remember when a Mongol in the Altai mountains said "It's Throat Singing Time" and throat singed on top of a mountain.
The successor State in 1700s
Kazakh Khanate 1465-1847 ( Bökey Horde 1801-1914(1846-1887))
Crimean Khanate 1441-1783
Buhara Khanate 1506-1785
Khiva Khanate 1511-1762
Kumul Khanate 1696-1930
Mongolia 1206-1916? (1912-1920)
what a video, just love it💖
Great video
1857, so the deposition of the last Mughal Emperor after the sepoq rebellion, which was a descendant of Babur, who broke off from the already dead Timurid empire, which was founded by Timur who broke off from the Chagathai Khanate, who were one of the Mongol Successor States?
12:40 bill wurtz Japan reference
What do you think would happen in Russian history if the Kingdom of the Kevin russ didn't fragment and was not conquered by the Mongols managed to fight them off it would give Russia a lot of Eastern territory and a bigger opportunity expansion
Ah, yes

*the name*
amazing stuff
man your content is so good man how do you do it?
never knew you made this also the successor to mongolia is still alive the holy land
very nice video
I guess every civilisation in history was a Mongol successor because every second I scroll in the comments, I learn that there were lot’s of states that were abolished in 1900’s were successor to Mongol Empire.
If you think about it the Royal Navy is just cavalry that have replaced the horses with boats
The mongol empire was so big that it could fit korea,ming Dynasty,dzungar khangate,timurid empire,saffavid empire
Khagan Charles has a ring to it...
Since so many people are said to be related to Genghis Khan, then technically whatever house they live in could be considered a successor state
I can't wait for a HoI4 mod where the British becomes the 2nd Mongol Empire. (Just for the memes)
if you go into family trees - Charles III is related biologically to Genghis Khan as well.
Mongolia now: 🤐
Mongolia before: 😈
it should have been mentioned that the central asian state of khiva was the last succesor state lasting until the russian civil war when it was concoured by the boljseviks
You should make a alt history about what if the mongol empire never existed (Like if ghengis khan died early on or the chinise defeated the Mongols at the start of their conqeusts) it would be intresting to see the massive butterfly effect
Great now the British Khanate Royal Navy can finally conquer Japan.
12:37 I did not expect a Bill Wurtz reference...
Imagine making the largest continous land empire in human history only for your country to be reduced to a small desolate nation stuck between two massive ones.
Why map of Rus' is so wrong? And also in Rus' didn't live russians, but ruthens. Diferent people. Russians became a thing later.

"helped spread the black plague" like thats an achievement lol
Can't wait for Charles III, Khan of Britain, to conquer the steppes
The Anglo-Mongol Empire gonna be going crazy on the world 💀
Mongols never fell, Mongolia still exist
Love the history of japan reference in the mughals bit
“The Horde got land taken away by hordes”
The fact that the last muhgal emperor had a photograph means that theres photographs of mongol successors
R.I.P Mongol Empire (1206-1874)
So I guess that a short living 1918 Crimean republic can also be counted as a successor state to Mongol empire?
no because it was a republic founded a century after their last genghishid ruler lost everything. By that logic is vietnam a successor state of the Han empire?
Umayyad Caliphate was the largest non-colonial empire!
Mongols, Colonial? Wtf are you bitching about?
