Yuan Dynasty

The Yuan Dynasty (; pinyin: Yuáncháo; Classical Mongolian: Yuan Guren) was a khanate of the Mongol Empire, one of the four major divisions of the empire, lasting officially from 1271 to 1368, followed the Song Dynasty and preceded the Ming Dynasty in the historiography of China. The dynasty was established by ethnic Mongols under Kublai Khan (the last Great Khan), and he controlled the Mongol Empire (stretching from Eastern Asia to the fertile crescent to Russia and eastern Europe) because of his title of Khagan. Later successors did not even attempt to stake claim over the Khagan title and saw themselves as Emperor of China, as the Yuan Dynasty grew from being an imperial Mongol administration under Kublai Khan to becoming a basically Chinese institution under his successors. At its height, the Yuan Dynasty had a population of 80 million people.
