Timurid conquests and invasions

Ok kiddo, so imagine a really long time ago, there were some people in a place called Central Asia, which is like a big area with a lot of different countries now. These people were called the Timurids, and they were really good at fighting and conquering other places.

So the Timurids decided they wanted to go to other places and take over. They would gather a lot of soldiers and weapons, and go to another place and fight the people living there. If the Timurids won the fight, they would take over and make the people there follow their rules.

This is called a conquest or an invasion, and the Timurids did a lot of them. They invaded and conquered many places in Central Asia, Persia, India, and even parts of Europe.

Some people were afraid of the Timurids because they were very powerful and could be very mean to the people they conquered. But other people thought the Timurids were really cool and looked up to them as leaders.

So basically, the Timurids were a group of people who were really good at fighting and wanted to take over other places, which they did through conquests and invasions.
