The Golden Hord will rise again
Decreed by Kubla Khan.
Here's the map:
The Mongolia Empire had way more land than this in its prime. In the late 1200, Mongolian Empire spans from Siberia to southeast Asia, and all the way to east Europe.
It is just Russia didn't exists back then. 1471 is near the downfall of the Mongolian Empire and it is still huge.
Did Mongolia also not burn/sack Moscow several times for failure to pay taxes. Aka like Trump said he would be fine with Russia doing to NATO countries?

Just go take it back, Russia is so wrapped up in the western front they wouldn't be able to mount any kind of defense until it was far too late to hold Siberia.
If Mongolia is able to muster anything like the force they had when they invaded, it will hardly matter what Russia can mount
Then again, Genghis Khan didn't have guns or tanks or planes.
If Russia keeps it up, they might not have those either.
guns
It sounds like he may actually have been the first to bring them to Europe.

Possible Mongol diffusion of gunpowder to Europe
Several sources mention the Mongols deploying firearms and gunpowder weapons against European forces at the Battle of Mohi in various forms, including bombs hurled via catapult.[55][56][57] Professor Kenneth Warren Chase credits the Mongols for introducing gunpowder and its associated weaponry into Europe.[58] A later legend arose in Europe about a mysterious Berthold Schwarz who is credited with the invention of gunpowder by 15th- through 19th-century European literature.[59]

Greece is getting ready to expand too, and solving the Israel / Palestine issues at the same time
The Abbasids and the Umayyads put Alexander to shame.
Sure but Alexander the pretty allright also conquered his territory's over a thousand years earlier. The Umayyads and Abbasids were doing it in a far more developed world.

This guy fucks.
To be expected, given his ancestry
Also, Russia was founded by Vikings, so I hope Norway is ready to invade.
Probably Sweden
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varangians
The Varangians (/vəˈrændʒiənz/; Old Norse: Væringjar; Medieval Greek: Βάραγγοι, Várangoi;[1][2] Old East Slavic: варяже, varyazhe or варязи, varyazi) were Viking[3] conquerors, traders and settlers, mostly from present-day Sweden.[4][5][6] The Varangians settled in the territories of present-day Belarus, Russia and Ukraine from the 8th and 9th centuries, and established the state of Kievan Rus' as well as the principalities of Polotsk and Turov.
"Mostly" Sweden. Probably a team effort.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rus%27_people
The first Western European source to mention the Rus' are the Annals of St. Bertin (Annales Bertiniani).[84] These relate that Emperor Louis the Pious' court at Ingelheim, in 839, was visited by a delegation from the Byzantine emperor. In this delegation there were men who called themselves Rhos (in the Latin text, ... qui se, id est gentem suam, Rhos vocari dicebant, ...; translated by Aleksandr Nazarenko as ... who stated that they, i.e. their nation, were called Rhos, ...). Once Louis enquired the reason of their arrival (in the Latin text, ... Quorum adventus causam imperator diligentius investigans, ...), he learnt that they were Swedes (eos gentis esse Sueonum; verbatim, their nation is Sveoni).[85][86]
Hmm. Well, I guess that's it, then. Sweden gets Russia.

Nah, we were more into scottish monasteries. Ask the swedes.
You guys were one kingdom once. More than once.
True, but we realized that scandinavian internal banter was much more fun across borders.

Hey Portugal and Spain, according to the treaty of Tordesilhas together, Portugal and Spain had conquering rights for half the world. And the pope signed it..
And Romans... You had a great empire. So did the Mouros (Arabs) Etc..
Hey Portugal and Spain, according to the treaty of Tordesilhas together, Portugal and Spain had conquering rights for half the world.
They got most of the other half a bit later:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tordesillas
The lands to the east would belong to Portugal and the lands to the west to Castile, modifying an earlier bull by Pope Alexander VI. The treaty was signed by Spain on 2 July 1494, and by Portugal on 5 September 1494. The other side of the world was divided a few decades later by the Treaty of Zaragoza, signed on 22 April 1529, which specified the antimeridian to the line of demarcation specified in the Treaty of Tordesillas. Portugal and Spain largely respected the treaties, while the indigenous peoples of the Americas did not acknowledge them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Zaragoza
Under the treaty, Portugal gained control of all lands and seas west of the line, including all of Asia and its neighbouring islands so far "discovered", leaving Spain with most of the Pacific Ocean.
Portugal and Spain largely respected the treaties, while the indigenous peoples of the Americas did not acknowledge them.
You think!?

I’ve been waiting for this. So glad they actually did it.
Don't worry. We are a peaceful and free nation
...until someone messes with a Mongolian trade delegation.
Good joke, but it's bold on him to poke fun at one of the only two neighbors Mongolia has, while the other dreams of invading it.
I would like to see this map.
I have Privacy Badger so I didn't look at the Xitter post, here's a map I found from the Wikipedia page
"parts of Russia" is really underselling it.
Would have been "all" if Ogedei hadn't caught a severe case of drinking himself to death.

Yeah. First of all, there wasn't really a "Russia" at the time. Vikings invaded the European mainland and controlled some settlements like Novogrod. They eventually made it down to Kiev, and for a while there was the "Kievan Rus" state with its capital in Kiev. That was destroyed when the Mongols sacked and completely obliterated Kiev.
In December 1237, Moscow was sacked by the Mongols, and many / most (?) of the civilians were either enslaved or killed. The Ukraine area was important because the Ukrainian lands were so fertile, but Moscow wasn't, so it retained some independence. Moscow was under the thumb of the Mongols to such an extent that they acted as tax collectors for the Horde, and when town officials resisted the tax collection on behalf of the mongols, Alexander Nevsky (Prince of Novgorod, Grand Prince of Kiev, etc.) had their noses cut off. The Russians only stopped paying off the Mongols in 1476.
Eventually the Mongol force faded due to infighting, and one of the forces pushing them out was based out of Moscow. But, again, this isn't because Moscow was important and powerful. It's because Moscow was at the very edge of their territory, and wasn't a strategically important place the plains of Ukraine.
Putin's whole "Ukraine has always been part of Russia" is backwards. "Russia" was originally part of the Kievan Rus, based out of Kiev. Eventually, after the chaos following the Mongols, Ukraine was fought over by various empires, but it wasn't until the 1800s that most of the territory now considered to be Ukraine was in Russian hands.
Depending on the time you choose, Russia was much smaller than that too.
lmao
Fucking gotem
Wow, great flex! Isn't there a 1 in 3 chance that the people in this region have at least some Mongolian in their lineage?
