Yuan Dynasty (jan 1, 1279 – jan 1, 1368)

Description:

The Yuan Dynasty (1279–1368) was China's first foreign-led dynasty, in between the Chinese Song and Ming dynasties. It was established by Kublai Khan, leader of the vast Mongol Empire, and fell into internal rebellion after it lost touch with its Mongol roots.
Under Yuan rule, the native Chinese people were treated badly. Kublai Khan developed a strict hierarchy of social classes. On top were the non-taxed Mongols, second were the non-Chinese government officials (Turks, Persians, etc.), then came the northern Chinese. And finally, at the bottom, were the southern Chinese
