## TL;DR

The Mongol Empire expanded from Chinggis Khan conquests into the largest contiguous land empire in history. This repair maps each claim to stable history sources.

## Core Explanation

The old entry had very low verified coverage and duplicate broad facts. This version uses Britannica and museum sources for empire scale, founder, and Yuan dynasty context.
