1370-1389 Mongols Advance Across Eastern Europe

This twenty year period covers the reign of Edward III of England who died in 1377 and was succeeded by Richard II.

There were only three wars during this period -- the 1380 Muscovite-Mongol War, the 1383-1385 Crisis in Portugal and the 1386-1389 Ottoman-Serbian War -- so there was 10 years of peace before the 1380 Muscovite-Mongol War broke out.

The advance of the Mongols across Eastern Europe was scary because Europeans were already worried about the Muslim Turks invasions.

There were no discoveries or inventions or anything wonderful happening in the world during this period.

Maybe the Black Death of 1347 to 1351 wiped out so many young people that there were just not enough people born in the previous generation to be making a mark for the times.
