At its height in the 13th century, the Mongol Empire was the largest contiguous land empire in history. It stretched from the Sea of Japan all the way into eastern Europe, including most of continental Asia and the Middle East. Genghis Kahn, his sons, grandsons, and trusted generals were rampaging across the continent with a fine-tuned military machine that was as brutal as it was brilliant. By 1223, they had their sights set on Kievan Rus (KEE-van Russ), a loose federation of Eastern European states that hadn’t yet become Russia. Over the next 250 years, death would literally rain down. In the aftermath, the Mongol Empire was dead…and Russia was born.

Welcome back to Nutty History. Today, we’re exploring why you wouldn’t stand a chance in Mongol Russia.
