AH Challange: Mongolia controls Siberia

My challange for you today, is that with a POD of 1500 or later, Mongolia controls all of Siberia, Kamchatka, and parts of Alaska. It also must control atleast half of Manchuria.
 
Im not exactly familiar with Chinese-Mongolian history in the area but you also need to get rid of Russia.

This one is easier and the POD can be later. But an early one around the 1500s you can simply kill of Ivan the Terrible early on and have the unification of Russia fail.

Having the Mongols in power in China is also a good start but then would it not be a Chinese Siberia? Or how Mongol does China get?
 
... simply kill of Ivan the Terrible early on and have the unification of Russia fail. ...

That's the wrong Ivan you're thinking of.

A good candidate would be a much longer Time of Troubles or a Polish Tsar on the throne resulting from it. That could result in Chinese/Mongol Siberia, by population at least if not necessarily politically.
 
Well, the trouble is that Mongolian culture (if im not mistaken) is based around the steppe, and the steppe pretty much ends on the borders of the Mongol empire. The second disadvantage for the Mongols is that there are no organised societys for them to conquer. So I suppose the logical way to open up Siberia for Mongol settlement is the get rid of those trees, or have a Siberian civilisation beforehand. Otherwise, I wouldn't see how it is possible.
