The main conclusions 1.In 1206, the Mongol tribes united under the rule of Genghis Khan. 2.In the first half of the XIIIth century the Mongols had made great conquests, for they had effective military intelligence, well-organized army and used the achievements of the Chinese military engineering. But what is even more important, they usually faced with the peoples of the neighboring lands already experiencing the period of feudal fragmentation. 3.The first heavy defeat of the Mongols the Russian troops suffered in the Battle of the Kalka River in In a series of campaigns in , Batu devastated a significant part of Kievan Rus, establishing the premises for its subordination to the Golden Horde. 5.The creation of a system of theMongol-Tatar yoke was a long-term process and was a result of a series of invasions, which lasted for decades. 6.The functioning of the system of the Tatar-Mongol yoke has caused great damage to the economy and culture of Kievan Rus and destroyed the natural course of its political development.
