it was difficult for the mongols to control their empire because after Genghis Khan died, all of his sons and grandsons took control which was crazy, and the empire split into individual little empires all over which obviously didnt work
There were many rulers of the Mongol Empire during it's history. First was Genghis (or Chingis) Khan, who formed the empire, then his son Ogedai, who expanded it, followed by Ogedai's son Guyuk. When Guyuk died, Genghis's fourth son's son Mongke came to power, followed by his younger brother Kublai (or Kubla, as he is the one in the poem Kubla Khan). Following this there were many other leaders but they only ruled the empire in name and couldn't control it all.well for sure Genghis khan was one and his four sons
Pax Mongolica is the name given to the period of (relative) stability and, if you will, law and order, during the reign of Genghis Khan and his sons and grandsons over the area from Eastern Europe to the Pacific Ocean. The largest land empire ever known, it is estimated that at its hieght, one out of every three human beings was a Mongol subject.

I believe it was due to feuds between Genghis Khan's sons or grandsons. What happened was, after Genghis Khan died, the empire was split into a few divisions, one for each of his sons. But his sons began fighting each other for more land.

when Genghis khan died... The Mongol Empire was divided into four sections by Genghis Khan. The Empire was to large to be maintained otherwise. To much conflict would have been caused by a single heir being named. In truth Genghis Khan's sons were not worth much and his daughters and wives did the real running of the Empire. The sons and daughters in law did not like this and after many years of fighting pretty much ruined the Empire Genghis Khan died ( Old, in his bed surrounded by family, how many rulers had that claim to fame in ancient history).
His four sons Jochi, Ögedei, Chagatai and Tolui
Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire, died in the year 1227. His empire was divided between his sons.
official Genghis Khan (Temüjin) had for (4) sons, from old to young: Jochi, Chagatai, Ogedai and Tolui. probably he had daughters, but that time it was the custom ,after marriage, the girl became family of her husbands family. Done with the family-name link.

He had two Sons, 3 Grandsons & 1 Granddaughter
Khabul Khan was the paternal great-grandfather of Genghis Khan (May 31, 1162? - August 25, 1227).Specifically, Khabul Khan was the great leader of the Khamag Mongol state on the Mongolian plateau. He could have been succeeded by any one of his seven sons, included among whom was Genghis' Grandfather Bartan-Baghatur. But he chose Ambaghai, a relative from the ancient Taichuud clan of central Mongolia.
