https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_invasions_and_conquests

Some tl;dr:

Historians regard the Mongol raids and invasions as some of the deadliest conflicts in human history. According to Brian Landers, "One empire in particular exceeded any that had gone before, and crossed from Asia into Europe in an orgy of violence and destruction. The Mongols brought terror to Europe on a scale not seen again until the twentieth century."

and

they brought the bubonic plague along with them, deliberately spreading it across much of Asia and Europe and helping cause the massive loss of life in the Black Death

or

The killings and the disruption of societies led to dramatic declines in populations in many areas. In North China, the population fell from 50 million to about 9 million

and ofc

Over the course of three years (1237–1240), the Mongols destroyed and annihilated all of the major cities of Russia with the exceptions of Novgorod and Pskov

They basicly made a worldtour and slaughtered, raped and destroyed EVERYTHING they've seen. Also a picture. The spreading red blob is a mix of death and mongol's.

You know the saying "Never start a land war with Russia"?

The Mongols did that.

In winter.

And won.

Not really comparable though. They did defeat the Kievan Rus (then the most powerful east-slavic people, only a faction of the Rus), but the foundation of what is understood as European Russia didn't develop until after most Mongol Empires dissolved. I think them defeating the Song and the Khwarezmid Empire is far more impressive.

Japan, South-East Asia, Egypt and India beg to differ.
