Berke Khan and Hulagu clash at the Terek
1262
The Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate, two fragments of Genghis Khan's empire, fought their first major battle along the Terek River in the Caucasus. Berke's army crossed the frozen river and caught Hulagu's troops off guard. The Mongol world war proved that even the steppe empire's unity had its limits.
