My spring research project is an essay on an ancient empire that is not very well known by the majority of people. I recently learned of this empire after researching the Mongols for my initial topic. The main topic of my essay is the Ilkhanid Dynasty. This empire is one of the four fragments of the great Mongolian empire. The main question that I am trying to answer is "How were the lives of the citizens of the Ilkhanid Dynasty?".
This empire is important to history because it is the ending of the well-known Mongols. They were involved in many major wars like their war with the Mamluks for the land of Syria. This war caused both sides to expend many resources, and after the Ilkhanate won the war, the Syrian land was not what they wanted. Another major issue with this empire is that the founder was a successor of the great Genghis Khan. This topic has been interesting to me, and I am excited to teach my classmates about this empire.
It seems that there is o good succession plans in very large empires. Take Alexander the Great for example along with the Mongol empire>
