1. (The rise of the Mongols, 1200-1260)
During the late twelfth century, a Mongol chief, named Temujin, united the independent nomadic tribes of central Asia. In 1206 tribal leaders bestowed on him the title “Chinggis Khan” (or “Genghis Khan”), which many historians believe is a derivation of the word tenggis, or “oceanic.” Along with khan, or leader, this implies the title of “universal leader.” During the next fifty years, Chinggis Khan and his successors built the largest land-based empire in history.
This map depicts the areas controlled by the Mongols around (1300), as well as a competing empire south of Mongol control at this time. In the lettered blanks of the table following the map, demonstrate your understanding of Eurasia during the era of Mongol expansion by selecting the correct names of the two cities (marked with black squares) and the khanate or empire indicated by the corresponding letters on the map.
