Turmoil in China, Mongol Rule (jan 1, 1350 – jan 1, 1368)

Description:

By the mid-1300s, China was in turmoil. The Mongols' hold on power had became unstable. Disease and natural disasters had weakened the Mongol grip. Additionally, feuds broke out within the government, leaving the countryside unprotected against bandits and rebels.

As life became more dangerous and difficult, Chinese peasants grew increasingly frustrated with the incompetence of their rulers.
