Mongol invasion of Volga Bulgaria (1223–36)
On the Mongol Empire map as “Bolghar”
1223 & 1236 — At the Samara Bend, the Volga Bulgars ambush the raiders on their return, giving the expedition its one bloody nose. Thirteen years later Batu arrives with the full army and destroys their state in a season. The earlier reconnaissance had marked the Bulgars first.

Published polity extents are used at the date resolution available in their sources. Hatched affected regions and route arrows are educational reconstructions; the source details distinguish them from imported boundaries.
