Question

What was one factor that led to the fall of the Mongol Empire?

Answer 1

The Mongol Empire existed during the 13th and 14th centuries, and was the largest contiguous land empire in history.Originating in Mongolia, the Mongol Empire eventually stretched from Eastern Europe and parts of Central Europe to the Sea of Japan, extending northwards into parts of Siberia; eastwards and southwards into the Indian subcontinent, Mainland Southeast Asia and the Iranian Plateau; and westwards as far as the Levant and the Carpathian Mountains.

The Mongol Empire emerged from the unification of several nomadic tribes in the Mongol homeland under the leadership of Genghis Khan (c.  1162 - 1227), whom a council proclaimed ruler of all the Mongols in 1206. The empire grew rapidly under his rule and that of his descendants, who sent out invading armies in every direction. The vast transcontinental empire connected the East with the West in an enforced Pax Mongolica, allowing the dissemination and exchange of trade, technologies, commodities and ideologies across Eurasia.

Answer 2

Downfall of the Mongol Empire

Explanation:

The most important factor for the downfall of the Mongol Empire was due to the rise of several independent states.

• When Aurangzeb died in 1707 the Mughal Empire was very big. After his death there was no able ruler to keep the Empire intact.

Taking advantage of this situation several provinces declared themselves independent.

• The Nawab of Bengal Murshid Quli Khan, the Nawab of Hyderabad  Qamar-ud-din Siddiqi and others declared independence from Mongol Empire.
