WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -After Kublai’s death in 1294, the Mongol Empire fragmented. Many of his successors were inept, and none attained Kublai’s stature. From 1300 on disputes over succession weakened the central government in China, and there were frequent rebellions.

Detailed explanation-2: -After the death of Kublai Khan the Mongol empire stopped expanding and began its decline. The Yuan dynasty became weaker and the Mongols began losing control over khanates in Russia, Central Asia and the Middle East. After Kublai Khan died in 1294, the empire became corrupted.

Detailed explanation-3: -By 1368 CE, the Mongols were weakened by a series of droughts, famines, and dynastic disputes amongst their own elite. Indeed, one might say that the once-nomadic Mongols were really only defeated by themselves for they had become a part of the sedentary societies they had so long fought against.

Detailed explanation-4: -Despite ultimately being unsuccessful in their attempt to destroy Islam, the Mongols left a deep political, economic, and military scar in the heart of the Muslim world. Entire regions were depopulated. Irrigation canals, fields of crops, and economic infrastructure were destroyed beyond repair.

Detailed explanation-5: -Intense factionalism among the Mongols, rapidly rising prices, furious epidemics of the plague, and growing peasant revolts forced the Mongols out of China by 1368, less than a century after they had finally conquered the Chinese.
