AHC – Expanded Mongol Empire lasts until the 1500s

The thing that's really bothering me is India. There's a reason that didn't happen IOTL, and it's not that the Mongols didn't try, after all.

On the other hand, I see no reason they couldn't take Constantinople.
 
I'll quibble with the borders making little sense in some places, but if you want a larger Mongol Empire that lasts to 1500 but can accept it shrinking throughout most of the period that should be pretty easy.

Don't get me wrong, I am willing to accept the borders of the alternate Mongol Empire shrinking from its maximum extent early on yet managing to make short-lived gains elsewhere so it is more likely to last to 1500, so long as there is no succession dispute.

Yeah, it's fairly easy to defend India if one holds Kabul. I don't remember if Alauddin Khilji took it or not, but I do know he led two Mongol armies into India before taking them out.

Actually they did try, but due to Chinggis troops didn't had immune to tropical weather disease it was halted.
Later when they had troops capable of invading India-Kush, they were occupied by other matters like invading Europe, Muslim World and China.

I agree, lasting Mongol Empire would have taking Constantinople, unless Byzantine Empire agreed to become vassal same as OTL Korea.

5. Kublai would do conquest of Vietnam while ordering Golden horde and Il Khanate to conquer Byzantine Empire.
