  Mongols - LoveToKnow 1911
How this dominion was extended under the rule of Jenghiz Khan is shown in the article Jenghiz Khan, and when that great conqueror was laid to rest in the valley of Kilien in 122 7 he left to his sons an empire which stretched from the China Sea to the banks of the Dnieper.
The dominions given by Jenghiz Khan to his son Jagatai were involved in the quarrels between Kaidu and Kublai for the khakanate, but at the beginning of the 14th century Dua, a great-great-grandson of Jagatai, made him- of self undisputed lord of the whole region.
The primary cause of contention was the khanate of Kazan, which was recovered by the Mongols, and lost again to Russia with that of Astrakhan in 1555 The sultan, however, declined to accept this condition of things as final, and instigated Devlet Girai, the Krim khan, to attempt their recovery.

This northern khanate was destroyed by a coalition of the Karluk, Uighur and Basmal in 744.
But otherwise the whole history of the Jagatai khanate, which lasted from 1234 to 1370, is a confused record of dissensions with frequent intervals of anarchy In 1321 it split into two khanates, Transoxiana and Dzungaria and in 1370 collapsed before Timur.

The Jagatai khanate lost Transoxiana (roughly corresponding to present-day Uzbekistan) to the Turkic aristocracy in 1347.

Timur, who conquered most of the Chaghtai khanate in the 14th century and founded a new empire, had descent from Chingiz Khan, as did Babur, who in the 16th century founded the Mughal (i.e., Mongol) empire in India.
Internal divisions, the expansion of Moscow, the invasion by Timur, and the appearance of the Ottoman Turks contributed to the disintegration of the Tatar Empire in the late 15th century.
In the 16th century Russia conquered the Khanates of Kazan, Astrakhan, and Sibir (Siberia); the Khans of Crimea became (1478) vassals of the Ottoman Empire.

Yuan is third, keep in mind yuan dyansty is NOT the entire mongol empire, by the time the yuan is established in 1271, the khanate of golden horde, the khanate of jagatai, and the khanate of the kipchak were all independent.
The khanate of persia was under nominal vassalage but the yuan had absolutely no power over them, so yuan can only include its own peripheral territory which is roughly 4.6 million sq mile compared to qing's 5.1 million sqmile and tang's near 4.8 million sq mile.
The map here has errors, it shows the yuan controlling most of xing jiang, which is not correct, before the establishment of yuan kublai sent a general to punish the jagatai khanate and succeeded in subduing it but the general soon revolted and kubilai lost all of xing jiang but hami.
