<p> A great Asiatic people having their original home on the plains E. of Lake Baikal, Siberia, who first rose into prominence under their ruler Genghis Khan in the 12th century; he, uniting the three branches of Mongols, commenced a career of conquest which made him master of all Central Asia; his sons divided his empire, and pursued his conquests; a Mongol emperor seized the throne of [[China]] in 1234, and from this branch sprang the great Kublai Khan, whose house ruled an immense territory 1294-1368. Another section pushed westwards as far as [[Moravia]] and Hungary, taking [[Pesth]] in 1241, and founded the immense empire over which [[Tamerlane]] held sway. A third but later movement, springing from the ruins of these earlier empires, was that of Baber, who conquered India, and founded the Great Mogul line, 1519. Now [[Mongols]] are constituent elements in the populations of China, Russian, and Turkish Asia. </p> | <p> A great [[Asiatic]] people having their original home on the plains E. of [[Lake]] Baikal, Siberia, who first rose into prominence under their ruler Genghis [[Khan]] in the 12th century; he, uniting the three branches of Mongols, commenced a career of conquest which made him master of all [[Central]] Asia; his sons divided his empire, and pursued his conquests; a [[Mongol]] emperor seized the throne of [[China]] in 1234, and from this branch sprang the great Kublai Khan, whose house ruled an immense territory 1294-1368.
