🔴 **The Mongol empire’s expansion and rethinking research trends in Chinese historical climatology**

_“This article introduces the underlying reasons for the westward expansion of the Mongol Empire, challenging entrenched assumptions through the lens of climate. It reviews scholarly discourse, focusing in particular on a theory linking Mongol expansion to a global dry period, while juxtaposing this with recent research spearheaded by climatologists. Their findings reveal that Mongol expansion coincided with favorable climatic conditions, casting doubt on the traditional narrative.”_
