The rise of the Mongol empire transformed world history. Its collapse in the mid-fourteenth century had equally profound consequences. Four themes dominate this study of the late Mongol empire in Northeast Asia during this chaotic era: the need for a regional perspective encompassing all states and ethnic groups in the area the process and consequences of pan-Asian integration under the Mongols the tendency for individual and family interests to trump those of dynasty, country, or linguistic affiliation and finally, the need to see Koryo Korea as part of the wider Mongol empire.
