Yes, Yes and a thousand times yes! Sorry about that. In the early 1300's, a Mongol named Temuchin was made ruler over all of the Mongol tribes. Upon this event, he received the title Universal Ruler, or in Mongol, Genghis Khan. By the time of his death in 1320, his empire stretched from the Caspian sea to the Yelow Sea. By the time of his grandson, Kublai Khan, the empire controlled nearly all of modern China to the Black Sea. Kublai began a new chinese dynasty by moving his capital to what is now Bejing. Kiev was sacked, disrupting for years the formation of a Russian state. The Mongol army allowed the bacteria which caused the Black death to spread from Southeastern China, which was really the only place where the bacteria had survived since the first time it hit Europe bad in the 400s., to Europe. The Black Death killed was is estimated to be 50-75% of Europe's population. It took 300 years for the population of Europe to recover to pre plague population. This empire gradually fell apart over the next 500 years. The modern country of Mongolia is the homeland of the Mongols, from where Genghis Khan began to expand his empire into the largest land empire that the world has ever known, and where ethnic Mongolians returned to as the empire fell apart. It was also the second oldest communist nation in the world. Mongolia has had an effect on the world and other civilizations in addition to it's own.

In a most profound way. Until very recent all of Chinese history had been dominated by the active effort at finding methods to keep the mongols from invading their lands, i.e. the great walls purpose was for this. With this as well the great Mongolian general Changis Khan successfully conquered all of china, Russia, the eastern Baltic, and the middle east. For a very interesting and humorous story on the influence of the Mongolians on European history wikipiedia prestor john (my spelling may be off).

Mongolia's history is diluted. It consisted of many influences, the Kyber pass for instance, Russia, China, Persia, Japan, Some European, and muslims from the middle east and the Ottoman society as well. Look up the Kyber pass, also the Kasacks,

Yes. Mongols repeatedly invaded china, and were the reason that the great wall was built.
Genghis Khan's armies swept through the middle east, the Caucasus and far eastern Europe (what is now Russia). He had ordered them to advance west until they were stopped. They never were {Genghis Khan died, and the all went home to choose a new king}. Also there was Kublai khan, who was only prevented from conquering japan by a typhoon which swept away his invasion fleet
(the Japanese called it the divine wind or kamikaze, hence the suicide attacks on the American fleet in WW2 to try and cause a similar outcome). So yes, that's china, japan, Korea, India, Iran/Persia, Iraq/Mesopotamia, proto-Russia. Quite a few.

Yes,
the Mongolians under Genghis Khan established the Yuan dynasty in China.
They pushed the slavic & turkic people westwards with their westward expansion, the result of which are that the Turks established Turkey as their homeland, the Magyars in Hungary & the Slavs in eastern Europe.
Also, the Goths - Osigoths & Visigoths - were pushed westwards & they in turn went into Roman territories such as Germania (Germany), Gaul (France) & even the Italian peninsula.

In 1203 AD, a single Mongolian state was formed based on nomadic tribal groupings under the leadership of Genghis Khan. He and his immediate successors conquered nearly all of Asia and European Russia and sent armies as far as central Europe and Southeast Asia. Genghis Khan's grandson Kublai Khan, who conquered China and established the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368 AD), gained fame in Europe through the writings of Marco Polo. More………
