The term "Tatar-Mongol" refers to the historical alliance and cultural interactions between the Tatars and Mongols. This relationship was particularly significant during the Mongol Empire, which, in the 13th century, expanded across much of Asia and parts of Europe. The Tatars, originally a group of Turkic-speaking tribes, became integrated into the Mongol military and administrative systems. The Tatar-Mongol influence is evident in various aspects of culture, language, and governance in regions like Russia and Central Asia. The legacy of this interaction can still be seen today in the diverse ethnic groups and cultural practices that emerged from this historical period.
