Genghis Khan used the strategy of dividing the Empire into four major Khanates to make managing the large Mongol Empire easier. These Khanates were regional subdivisions that helped in administrating the vast territories more effectively, allowing for localized governance while still being part of the larger Mongol realm. Each Khanate was ruled by a member of Genghis Khan's family or trusted leaders, which facilitated control and communication across the empire.
