QuoteThe name Mongol was not originally an ethnic name. It was the name of a single tribe, which grew politically to form a confederation with other tribes, giving its name to that confederacy. It is likely that Chingis Khan was from the Mongol tribe. The Secret History of the Mongols relates that Chingis Khan was born by the Onon River, some 200 miles northeast of Ulaan baatar. Culturally and linguistically, the Mongols are divided into East Mongols (Mongols proper) and West Mongols. East Mongols are comprised of many tribes, e.g. Khalkha, Chahar, Ordas, Qorchin, Tatars, and Buryats. West Mongols are known as Oirat and Kalmuck.

QuoteThe Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkic people who dominated the Pontic steppe and the North Caucasus from the 7th to the 10th century CE who were of Tartar-Mongol descent.

QuoteSome Jews from the shtetl Kurilovich, in Moldova, claim "Tartar" ancestry: "In 1923, my father, who was born in the Jewish colonies of Baron Hirsch, visited the small-town of Kurilovich, near Kishinev, between Moldavia and Bessarabia, from where their parents had come to Argentina. Old relatives of the town assured him that the family lived there for 500 years, and added this phrase that fed my fantasies for a long time: 'We are Jewish Tartars'. The 5 centuries would correspond exactly to the time at which the descendants of the Khazars dispersed from Crimea. And the usage of 'Tartars' instead of 'Khazars'? Perhaps a slip of the tongue and of the memory, that the historians will not delay in correcting." - Alicia Dujovne Ortiz, "El fantasma de los jázaros", La Nación (Buenos Aires, Argentina, August 19, 1999).

Quote[from Walsh] Although Tatar [or Mongol] troops had defeated those of the Russian princes in 1228 this had been only a reconnaissance in force and the Tatars had withdrawn without attempting to follow up the victory. They returned in 1236, however, and within less than four years brought all the Russian principalities, except Novogorod, under their dominion. Tatar control of the Russian lands lasted almost two and one-half centuries and had very important, far-reaching consequences. The following description of the Tatars was written in 1243.
