Ogodei Khan was the second Great Khan of the [[Mongols|Mongol Empire]]. The successor to [[Genghis Khan]] (d. [[1227]]), he led the Mongols in building [[Karakorum]] into a proper city (with permanent structures and city walls rather than being a collection of nomadic yurts) in [[1235]], and in significantly expanding their territory. Under Ogodei's command, the Mongols began their [[Mongol invasion of Korea|invasion of Korea]] in [[1231]], and also expanded into northern China, taking [[Kaifeng]] in [[1233]] and [[Luoyang]] in [[1234]], destroying the [[Jurchens|Jurchen]] [[Jin Dynasty]] state in the process. The Mongol armies then moved south and conquered [[Sichuan province]] in [[1236]]-[[1238]]. In the west, Ogodei's armies took Kiev in [[1240]] and clashed with those of Poland and Hungary in 1240-[[1241]], reaching as far as the Adriatic Sea before withdrawing due to Ogodei's death.
Ogodei Khan died in 1241. His widow, Queen [[Toregene]], also known as Turakina, then ruled as regent until [[1246]],<ref>Gallery labels, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/26142605534/sizes/l/]</ref> when Ogodei's son [[Guyuk Khan]] was named Great Khan.
Though Ogodei Khan is retroactively known as Emperor Taizong of the [[Yuan Dynasty]], the Yuan Dynasty is generally not considered to have been founded until [[1271]].
