Random thoughts at 5am: the Mongol Empire that exists in popular imagination (as a unified empire that stretched from Eastern Europe to the Korean Peninsula) really only lasted for 40 years. But with those 40 years they changed the course of human history: Russia became a military power, China was unified, the Black Death arrived in Europe from Central Asia, Persia and Mesopotamia lost their preeminence, and Columbus got lost when Spain sent him out to deliver a letter to the Khans
