History CE 1200 to 1274

In the history of European culture, this period is considered part of the High Middle Ages. After its conquests in Asia, the Mongol Empire stretches from Eastern Asia to Eastern Europe. By 1204, the Fourth Crusade captures Zara for Venice & sacks Byzantine Constantinople. By 1204, Norman domination is ended in France. The Battle of Adrianople occurs in 1205 between soldiers under Tsar Kaloyan of Bulgaria & Crusaders under Baldwin I, calling himself the first emperor of the "Latin Empire".

13th century- After 2 centuries of reliance, Chinguetti is re-founded as a fortified caravan trading center connecting the Mediterranean with Sub-Saharan Africa. Although the walls of the original fortification will disappear over the centuries, many of the buildings in the old section of the city will survive into the 21st century. The city will become seriously threatened, however, by the encroaching desert; high sand dunes will mark the western boundary.

1202- The Tartars of northeast Asia are subjected to a foreign ruler known as the Ong-Khan, possibly a Chinese governor. They are so terrified by this foreign takeover, that they first overthrow the Ong-Khan, & then set out on a pan-Eurasian orgy of destruction to expand their borders. Living on horseback & surviving for months on nothing but mare’s milk, they will sweep into South Russia, placing boards over defeated princes & then sitting on them, crushing the humans beneath while feasting.
