Ignoring, of course, the Northern Yuan Dynasty which existed in Mongolia until the 16th century.


What would it take for the Mongols (maybe the Khalka and Oirat are unified by Altan Khan and stay unified too) to invade China, then continue their conquest into Persia, Central Asia, Ukraine, the Levant, the Caucasus and Anatolia?

I was thinking it would happen some time in the 16th or 17th century. Maybe while Ming is in chaos, the Mongols invade Ming, but also destroy the Manchu? WOuld that be a good starting point, or would something else work better?
