Subutai (Classical Mongolian: Sübügätäi or Sübü'ätäi; Modern Mongolian: ᠰᠦᠪᠡᠭᠡᠳᠡᠢ; Сүбээдэй, Sübeedei. [sʊbeːˈdɛ]; Chinese: 速不台; c. 1175–1248) was a Mongol general and the primary military strategist of Genghis Khan and Ögedei Khan.[1] Subutai ultimately directed more than 20 campaigns, during which he conquered or overran more territory than any other commander in history as part of the expansion of the Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous empire in human history.[2] He often gained victory by means of sophisticated strategies and routinely coordinated movements of armies that operated hundreds of kilometers apart from each other.[3] Subutai is known for the geographical diversity and success of his expeditions, which took him from central Asia to the Russian steppe and into Europe. Subutai is regarded as one of the greatest military commanders in history, the single greatest in Mongolian history,[4][5] and as the most talented general of Ögedei Khan.[6]
