The overextension of the Mongol Empire can be attributed to their rapid expansion and conquests across vast territories. The empire became too large to be efficiently governed, which led to difficulties in communication, administration, and maintaining control over distant regions. This overextension also resulted in overreliance on local administrators who often acted in self-interest, further weakening the central authority. At the same time, the empire faced fragmentation due to internal power struggles and factionalism, as various Mongol leaders sought to establish their own independent dominions. These factors ultimately contributed to the collapse of the Mongol Empire.
