Title: Chapter 12, Section 3


1
Chapter 12, Section 3
  • The Mongol Empire

2
Kublai Kahn
  • Kublai Kahn, the grandson of Ganghis Kahn,
    conquered China and established the Yuan
    (yoo-AHN) Dynasty.
  • The Yuan Dynasty lasted only about 100 years, but
    played an important role in China because it
    united the country for the first time in 300
    years.

3
Mongol Rule in China
  • The Mongols faced a difficult task in ruling
    China. Their culture was radically different
    from Chinese culture, and they relied on the
    Chinese to help administer the empire.
  • Despite these challenges, Kublai proved an able
    leader. He reopened the Grand Canal, built a
    highway, improved trade, among others.

4
The End of Mongol Rule in China
  • In the 1300s, Chinese rebels attacked the
    Mongols, weakening their rule in China.
  • Finally, in 1368, Chinese rebels overthrew the
    Mongols and established the Ming Dynasty.
