Mongol empire---In 1130(12th century), the Mongol rulers occupied many parts of china but the victory was shortlived as they were defeated by the neighboring Tartars tribe. The ruler Temujin called as Ghenghis Khan. His father was killed by the chief of the tartar tribes when he was 9 years old. He was attacked by the Merkid tribes when he was 16 years old and they captured his wife. He collaborated with some of his fathers friends Toghrul khan and Jamugha and defeated the Merkid tribes and freed his wife. Later there was a minor clash between Jamugha and Temujin, which led to the exile of temujin for many years. He later arrived after 10 years and conquered many parts of mongolia.
