20. The Tangut Wars - Part 2

Hello! My name is Corey and welcome to the Mongol Empire Podcast. In this episode Chinggis Khan is going to ‘complete’ the ‘conquest’ of the Tangut state of Da Xia. We look at why the campaign of 1209 took place, and how the archaeology of the Tangut’s northern border is reshaping our understanding of Da Xia as a medieval state and it’s response to the invasion.
