Of all the nomadic warriors of central Asia, the fiercest were the Mongols. In the 13th century, starting in their homeland of Mongolia, just north of China, the Mongols spread out to the south and west. Under the leadership of Chinggis Khan (c. 1162–1227) and his descendants, the Mongols quickly built an empire that stretched from Korea to eastern Europe— the largest continuous area of land ever controlled by one ruling family.
This empire soon split into four mini-empires. The last major rulers with ties to the old Mongol empire were the Mughals of northern India, who first governed in the 16th century. They traced family ties to Chinggis Khan and the later Turko-Mongol ruler Timur (1336–1405), more commonly known in English as Tamerlane.
