Why did Batu Khan interrupt his campaign in Central Europe?

Mongol Khan Batu (1208-1255), the grandson of Genghis Khan, in 1237 led a campaign in Eastern Europe. During the autumn and winter of 1237-1238, his troops captured Ryazan, Kolomna, Moscow, Pereyaslavl, Tver, Vladimir and other cities of North-Eastern Russia, only the onset of spring thaw prevented them from reaching Novgorod.

The following winter, the Mongol-Tatars invaded the southern Russian lands and by the end of 1239, having captured the Crimea, they reached the Black Sea. In December 1240, Kyiv fell under the blows of the Mongol-Tatars, and they rushed to Galicia-Volyn Rus, where they took Galich, Vladimir-Volynsky and other Western Russian cities.

Further west, the Mongol hordes of Batu moved, splitting into two parts. One of them went to Poland. Having taken Lublin and Sandomierz, the Mongol-Tatars in the north went to the Baltic Sea, and in the south they captured Krakow and, having crossed the Oder, approached Wroclaw. On April 9, 1241, the combined forces of the Polish and German knights tried to stop the invasion, but were defeated.

Another part of the Mongol-Tatar army invaded Hungary and on April 11, 1241, in the battle on the Sayo River, defeated the army of the Hungarian king Bela IV. From Hungary, the warriors of Batu made devastating raids on Austria, Croatia and Dalmatia and reached almost as far as Venice.

The offensive potential of the Mongol-Tatar hordes was far from being exhausted when their victorious campaign in Central Europe was interrupted by the news of the death of the great Khan Ogedei in Karakorum. In December 1241, Batu hurried to the capital of the vast empire created by his grandfather in order to protect his interests when choosing a new khan.

In 1243, Batu founded a feudal state in the lower reaches of the Volga - the Golden Horde, stretching from the Irtysh to the Danube.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Breathe deep, you're excited 10.08.2011

During major natural or industrial disasters, telephone networks are overloaded with calls.

Employees of the University of the Dutch city of Delft have created a computer program that analyzes the subscriber's voice and determines the urgency of the call by the degree of his excitement. Speech speed, intonation, voice pitch, rhythm and depth of breathing are taken into account.

The computer can prioritize the most anxious calls when connecting to various service operators. Tests have shown that the program is wrong only four percent of the time.
