Mongke Khan dies in 1259 and the empire cracks. We follow Kublai and Ariq Boke’s rival quriltais, the fight for Karakorum’s supplies, the battles at Baski and Shimuultu, Alghu’s swing in the Chagatai realm, Ariq’s surrender in 1264, and how this crisis birthed the Yuan, Ilkhanate, Chagatai, and Golden Horde as separate powers.
