Young Chinggis Khan faced hardship after his family lost power. He survived threats from rival tribes and built early alliances as he grew into a warrior.
When a neighboring empire attacks one of Chinggis Khan's envoys, he unleashes a campaign that annihilates the empire and solidifies Mongol dominance in Persia.
After Chinggis Khan's secret burial, his son Ogedei is proclaimed the ruler of the Mongol Empire. Ogedai conquers more land, builds a capital, and sets up a campaign against the Kievan Rus.
The Mongolian empire launches campaigns through Russia and Europe but news of Ogedai's death halts the advance and triggers struggles for succession over the largest empire in the world.
