In Episode 4 of The History of the Mongols, Genghis Khan returns home from his victorious campaign against the Jin Dynasty, only to find rebellion festering on the empire’s northern frontier. As unrest erupts among the forest tribes near Lake Baikal, Genghis must put down insurrection, avenge the death of his trusted friend, and reassert Mongol dominance across Siberia.

But the turmoil doesn't stop there. We track the final defeat of the Merkit, the dramatic collapse of the Qara-Khitai Empire, and the infamous Otrar Massacre, an event that pushed Genghis Khan to the edge of war with the Khwarezmian Empire. Along the way, we witness the rise of key Mongol commanders like Subutai and Jebe, and watch as a diplomatic disaster sets the stage for one of the bloodiest campaigns in medieval history.

Don't miss this action-packed episode as the Mongol war machine shifts west and the Shah of Khwarezm makes a fatal mistake.

Whether you’re a fan of Genghis Khan, medieval history, steppe nomads, or immersive historical storytelling, this series is your definitive guide to the rise and legacy of the Mongol Empire.
