The Mongol Conquests
Mongols built the largest unified land empire
- Mongols conquered settled societies across much of Asia
- There are two main expanses of the Eurasian steppe. The western steppe runs from Central Asia to eastern Europe.
- Very little rain falls on the steppe, but the dry, windswept plain supports short, hardy grasses. Seasonal temperature changes can be dramatic.Temperatures in Mongolia, for example, range from –57°F in winter to 96°F in the summer.
