Exploration and Expansion: Medieval Exploration and Influence (3 in 1)

This collection explores how seafarers, steppe warriors, and rising dynasties carved out vast territories and left lasting legacies across continents.

Begin with The Viking Age, a period of daring maritime expeditions, raids, and settlements that extended from Scandinavia to the British Isles, France, and even North America. The Vikings were not only fierce warriors but also skilled navigators and traders, spreading influence from Iceland to Byzantium.

Next, follow The Rise of the Ottoman Empire, which emerged in the late medieval period as a powerful force that bridged Europe and Asia. From humble beginnings in Anatolia, the Ottomans grew into an imperial power that would eventually reshape the political and religious map of the region.

Conclude with The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in history. Led by Genghis Khan and his successors, the Mongols connected East and West through military conquest and an unparalleled trade network that facilitated the movement of goods, technologies, and ideas across Eurasia.

Together, these three explorations of expansion demonstrate the far-reaching ambitions and transformative power of medieval societies that shaped the world far beyond their borders.
