The Cossack Sorcerers of Folk Legends and Historical Chronicles.Thunder Clap and Lightning Strike! Conquering the World, and the Battle of Ankara – Part 1.Batu Khan, one of Genghis Khan’s grandsons, led the Mongol invasion of Eastern Europe. During the early part of the 13th century, Genghis Khan united the various nomadic tribes of the Mongolian steppes and set out to conquer the world. Whilst the Tatars were already in contact with the Chinese during the early part of their history, their encounters with Europeans came much later on. The Chinese term, ‘Ta-Ta’, is said to mean ‘dirty’ or ‘barbarian’. The name Tatar is said to have first appeared around the beginning of the 5th century AD amongst the nomadic Turkic peoples of northeastern Mongolia in the region of Lake Baikal. For instance, the Chinese referred to all of their northern neighbors as the barbaric ‘Ta-Ta’ or ‘Da-Da’, and during the 14th century Westerners used the same term to refer to the population of the Mongol Empire and the khanates that succeeded it. But Tatars has had various other meanings through history. Today, Tatars is a collective name given to a number of Turkic-speaking groups that live in Russia and several former Soviet countries.
