Biggest Contiguous Empire of History
When we look into the Empirical history, many Empires took the throne of power globally. Among these powerful empires, the most powerful contiguous empire that ruled almost half of the world was the Mongol dynasty. It became almost impossible for many rulers to defeat the Mongol invasion. The Mongols were cruel and lacked kindness in every one of their bloodlines. Whichever land they invaded, they brutally assassinated the men and took women as their captives. The empire was led by Genghis Khan; even after his death, his burial place is still hidden. It is believed that a secret army took his corpse to a secret location as per his wish. Anybody who was seen near the vicinity of the army was executed mercilessly. Till today, scholars are in research for the dead remains of the merciless ruler Genghis Khan. But the Mongol invasion was a failure in the Delhi sultanate. Alauddin Khalji, with the help of his bravest of brave commanders, Zafar Khan, defeated the Mongol invasion with a small army compared to the Mongol army and even took about 20000 Mongol warriors as captives. After the death of Genghis Khan, the Mongol dynasty began to decline. But Kublai Khan was able to hold on to the dynasty for some more time. The death of Kublai Khan and the outbreak of the black death led to the end of the Mongol dynasty.
