A history of '''Mongolian monarchs'''.

<<TableOfContents>>

----



== Confederations ==

Mongolia was inhabited by a variety of nomadic steppe nations. Principal among them were the ''khanlig'' (confederations).



=== Keraites ===



=== Khamag Mongol ===



=== Naiman ===



=== Mergid ===



=== Tatar ===

The '''Tatars''' were a Turkic nation on the steppe, and geographically were the closest to [[China/Monarchs#Jin|China]]. Likely because of this proximity, early historic accounts refer to all Mongolians as Tatars.

== Mongol Empire ==

[[Mongolia/GenghisKhan|Temüjin]] united the tribes through conquest and was named khagan (''khan of khans'') and '''Genghis Khan'''.

The direct successor states are:

 * [[China/Monarchs#Yuan|Yuan dynasty]] of China
 * [[WorldHistory/GoldenHorde|Golden Horde]] centered in Crimea
 * Ilkhanate centered in Iran
 * Chagatai Khanate between all three

Much of the lands of the latter two were reunited by the [[WorldHistory/TimuridEmpire|Timurid Empire]], which also claimed to be a Mongol successor state.

== Dynasties ==



=== Borjigin ===

The '''Borjigin''' had been khans of the '''Khamag Mongol khanlig''' for generations before [[Mongolia/GenghisKhan|Genghis Khan]] raised their standing to a khaganate.

The collapse of the [[WorldHistory/MongolEmpire|Mongol Empire]] resulted in many dynasties claiming to be the heir of the Borjigin. The most substantial dynasty to claim this is the [[China/Monarchs#Yuan|Yuan]].
