Battle of the Kalka River (1223)
On the Mongol Empire map as “Kalka River”
31 May 1223 — Three Rus princes and their Cuman allies chase a feigned retreat for nine days, then are annihilated at the Kalka. The captured princes are suffocated under the victory platform. Then the raiders simply leave — and the Rus conclude it was a passing horror, and change nothing.
