The Mongol Empire was the greatest in the World, far larger than Alexander's and lasting much longer. It stretched over all of north East Asia, Central Asia and under Tamer Lane and the Moghuls (corruption of Mongol) into the Middle East and India. The Mongols would have gone on to conquer Europe if Genghiz Khan's grandson hadn't died of alcohol poisoning in the Crimea.

The Xiongnu ...or the Huns as we call them.
Hungary gets it's name from them. IMO, they became the Hakka who migrated to Southern (Guongdong) China. Also, these people were the hardest hit by the SARS outbreak
