What is now modern day Russia began in the area of Kiev, Ukraine. Due to the wealthy Byzantine Empire controlling the Dardenelles Straight, Kieven Rus (the name of Russia at the time) grew significantly. A small city-state called Moscow began to grow into one of the largest in the patchwork of city-states that made up Russia. It eventually defeated the Tatars (Russian for the Mongols), drove them out, and seized control. Later Russian tsars expanded the Russian Empire significantly, I think Ivan the Terrible took Siberia into the empire which probably over doubled the size of it like the Louisiana Purchase did for the United States. Russia continued to grow to this size: Western border with the German Empire to the Pacific Ocean Arctic Ocean in the north to the Crimean to the south. After World War 1, the western border was pushed back to where it is today.
It was the Mamluks. A Mamluk was a soldier who converted to Islam, over time they became a powerful military. It was one of the only battles the Mongols lost. Wikipedia: Mamluks
The Mongols were a tribe/clan in Mongolia, they were nomads and depended on raids for incone and wealth. The Mongol empire was built by conquering with the Mongolian advanced bow and horsemanship. Also, the Mongols drove fear into neighboring kingdoms, so they faced less resistance. Anyone that wanted to face mongols, it was futile.
The closest answer I could find in my World History book was -- A peasant's son, Hongwu, commanded the rebel army that drove the Mongols out of China in 1368. That year, he became the first Ming emperor. That's the answer I'm putting on my worksheet.....good luck with yours :P
The Germans crushed the invading Russian army and drove it into full retreat
The Mongols began to lose power in China when the peasants found a one-eyed statue in the mud. This statue had an inscription on it that helped the peasants believe they could rise up and defeat the Mongols. In the 1350's several peasant rebellions weakened the Mongol empire. By 1369 a peasant-warrior named Hong Wu united the peasants, established the Ming dynasty and drove the Mongols out of China in 1369.
