Islam unironically, but in that case its kind of their fault, because Mongols mass converted to Islam when they were actually controlling Muslim nations. Muslims thought Mongols were a sign of the day of judgement, but somehow the Arab religion attracted Mongols.
So mongols, which were a single nation, got split. Several tribes started to identify as something else than Mongols and got Persiane'd.
The mongolia now is a buddhist nation and gets btfo by China and as a result they are given just a desert as their spazio vitale.
Boom, Mongolia becomes irrelevant.

It was ran more like a group of local warlords than any sort of true governance.

superiority of nomadic armies over the armies of sedentary civilization have already been tipped over by the time the muskets were introduced.
mongolians especially have only a small population unlike the adjacent Turkic peoples.
