Yuan (21 janv. 1279 – 8 oct. 1368)

Description:

Kublai Khan and his Mongolian empire pushed into China and sacked the Song dynasty, causing the Mongols to be in power. The Yuan Dynasty moved the capital to Tatu (Beijing), increased tolerance for outsiders, extended the world network and denied Chinese influence. In addition, the Mongols completely altered social hierarchy. However, after Kublai Khan died, they failed to set up a stable form of government, and thus, they quickly fragmented into different khanates and fell to the Ming Dynasty.
