Mongol invasion of Central Asia
The Mongol invasion of Central Asia was Genghis Khan's campaign against the Khwarazmian Empire, which devastated the cities of Transoxiana and Khorasan around 1220. Cities such as Bukhara and Samarkand were captured and many populations massacred. The conquered region later formed the core of the Chagatai Empire.
