Following his rise to power in 1206, the Mongol conquerer Dschingis Khan created a vast empire in Asia und Europe. Upon his death in 1227, the empire was divided among the Khan’s sons. Genghis Khan’s oldest son Juchi received most of Russia. Juchi’s son Batu Khan secured the Russian domain, und he even invaded Hungary und Germany with his Golden Horde in 1241. The Empire of the Golden Horde was eventually conquered by Timur Lenk, who sacked the capital city Sarai Berke in 1395.
