WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Kublai Khan was the grandson of Genghis Khan and the founder of the Yuan Dynasty in 13th-century China. He was the first Mongol to rule over China when he conquered the Song Dynasty of southern China in 1279.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most notably, the Mongol invasions of Japan in the 1270s and 1280s were disastrous for Kublai’s men. The Japanese decisively defeated the Mongol invaders, who lost tens of thousands of men in the failed ventures, and prevented the Mongol Empire from expanding into Japan.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kublai Khan and his forces defeated what is known as the Southern Song Dynasty. The northern half of China had already fallen under Mongol control before Kublai came to power. He completed the conquest of China, defeating the Southern Song by 1279 CE after key battles on the Yangtze River and near Hangzhou.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kublai Khan (Qubilai-Qan) was the ruler of the Mongol Empire from 1260 to 1294. His accomplishments include establishing Mongol rule in China under the name of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), thus becoming the first non-Chinese to rule the whole of that country.
