# Mongol forces hunt down Küchlüg and absorb Qara Khitai as later dated

Date: 1218

## The fact

Around 1218 Mongol forces under Chinggis's command hunted Küchlüg and absorbed Qara Khitai. Later Iranica and Silk Road pages date the hunt. It is a route-and-usurper instrument. Genghis Khan's documented role is: He sent Jebe against Küchlüg. Qara Khitai routes opened to Mongol order; local cult coercion by Küchlüg is the received pretext.

## Context

Küchlüg is a Naiman remnant in the file. Sharing the campaign with Jebe is required. Khwarezm's insult-and-massacre story is the next year. The setting of Mongol forces hunt down Küchlüg and absorb Qara Khitai as later dated is the public file around 1218-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [industrial-policy-activism](/drivers/industrial-policy-activism) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Shared responsibility is part of Mongol forces hunt down Küchlüg and absorb Qara Khitai as later dated. Naming Genghis Khan does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1218-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

## Significance

Improving path from Mongol forces hunt down Küchlüg and absorb Qara Khitai as later dated on 1218-01-01. Removing a usurper who had blocked routes is an industrial-route path of medium weight. The welfare reading on this path is improving.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a sourced public record of Mongol forces hunt down Küchlüg and absorb Qara Khitai as later dated under 1218-01-01 for Genghis Khan. Established: a sourced public record of Mongol forces hunt down Küchlüg and absorb Qara Khitai as later dated under 1218-01-01.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not treat this as Khwarezm 1219. Mixed effects of Mongol forces hunt down Küchlüg and absorb Qara Khitai as later dated are separate paths.

The attached driver is industrial-policy-activism. The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
