    Genghis Khan Orders an attack against the Tangut kingdom of Xi Xia, a northwestern border-state of China. The attack ended 4 years later in 1209 after a declaration of allegiance by the Xi Xia king. The Xi Xia culture was virtually annihilated in 1227, after the Xi Xia king refused to assist the Mongols in an expedition.This means that Xi Xia king did not want to help the Mongols which is why the Tangut kingdom got in trouble with them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mongol_1209.png

    Genghis Khan died in 1227, 12 years after the Mongols captured Beijing in the north of China. During this time his son Ögödei was chosen to lead the empire in 1229. The empire now stretches from the Caspian Sea in the west to the China Sea in the east and from Siberia in the north to Tibet in the south. A well-organized messenger system covering most of Asia keeps Mongol rulers aware of what is happening over the vast empire.
