History
Ancient history
The first class society in Mongolia emerged with the Huns in the third century CE, and the first Mongol state was the Rouran Khaganate of the fourth through sixth centuries. Later feudal states included the Turkic Khaganate and Uyghur Khaganate. The feudal system developed further under the Liao dynasty of the 10th through 12th centuries.[1]
Medieval history
Mongolia unified into a single state in the 13th century. Genghis Khan made Mongolia a major military power and invaded China, Russia, and Iran, destroying their productive forces and halting development for many years.[1]
