Mongolia is a sparsely-populated country in Asia north of China. Historically, the region it occupies was home to confederations of nomadic peoples, among them the ancestors of both the Turks and the Mongols. [citation needed]

It had a long history of conflict with China, conducting frequent raids and invasions against its much larger, heavily urbanized neighbour. The state that would be known as Mongolia was first founded with the unification of the tribes under Genghis Khan in 1206, inaugurating the Mongol Empire. [citation needed] This was the largest contiguous land empire in the history of humanity. [citation needed] In a campaign of world conquest begun by Genghis Khan and continued by his successors, who joined the Templar Order,[1] states across Asia were annihilated, among them the Western Xia, the Song dynasty, various Iranic states, and the Assassin state.[2][3]

The Mongol Empire fragmented under Genghis Khan's descendants, and Kublai Khan came to rule a unified Mongolian and Chinese state known as the Yuan dynasty.[4] Although the Chinese eventually overthrew the Mongol regime to establish the Ming dynasty, as late as the 16th century, Mongolia continued to threaten China with military incursions,[5][6] and the Ming extended the Great Wall of China as a barrier against such attacks.[7] Among these raids was one conducted by Altan Khan at the invitation of the Chinese Templar Zhang Yong in 1532, but it was halted by the Assassin Shao Jun. Altan Khan was also responsible for establishing the close ties between Mongolia and Tibetan Buddhism which persists to this day.[6]
