ANSWER: Golden Horde
About Today’s Final Jeopardy – Tuesday, 2 April 2024
The Golden Horde, known also as the Kipchak Khanate, was a formidable state that emerged from the division of the Mongol Empire after the death of Genghis Khan. Stretching across parts of modern-day Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and other regions, the Golden Horde played a pivotal role in Eurasian history from the mid-13th century until its decline in the 15th century. Its influence extended over a vast territory, facilitating significant cultural and economic exchanges between the East and West, and imposing Mongol military prowess and administrative practices across its domain. The state was named for the golden tent of the khan, symbolizing its wealth and power. However, its might and unity were challenged over time, not only by internal strife and succession disputes but also by external pressures from emerging powers in the region.
One of the most significant challenges to the Golden Horde’s dominance came from Tamerlane, a Central Asian conqueror who sought to restore the Mongol Empire under his leadership. In 1395, Tamerlane’s forces decisively defeated the Golden Horde in the Battle of the Terek River, dealing a blow from which it would never fully recover. This defeat marked the beginning of the end for the Golden Horde’s era of influence, leading to its fragmentation into smaller khanates and the loss of territories to neighboring states. Tamerlane’s victory not only reshaped the political landscape of Central Asia and Eastern Europe but also signaled the rise of new powers and the shifting balance of influence in the region. The fall of the Golden Horde contributed to the changing dynamics that would eventually lead to the rise of the Russian Tsardom and other modern states from the remnants of the Mongol dominions.

Final Jeopardy is the final round of the popular American television game show Jeopardy!, in which participants test their knowledge in numerous areas by answering questions. In Final Jeopardy, participants are given a single clue and must wager a percentage of their existing earnings based on their confidence in their ability to successfully respond.
Each contestant surreptitiously writes down their wager during the commercial break. The Final Jeopardy clue is presented when the programme resumes, and participants have 30 seconds to write down their solution in the form of a question (e.g., “What is…?”). When the timer runs out, the host, reveals each contestant’s response and wager in ascending order of their pre-Final Jeopardy scores. The scores of contestants are adjusted based on whether their response is correct or incorrect, as well as the amount wagered. At the end of the round, the contestant with the highest score is proclaimed the winner.
