Mongols take China- Hi, I’m Kublai Khan, a Mongol leader. My grandfather was Genghis Khan, the greatest Mongol leader. I am now emperor of China. The Mongol empire had lasted over fifty years before we decided to invade China. We invaded China, and captured the Sung capital. In 1241, we controlled all of northern China. The Mongols are the greatest horseman of the world. We slowly adapted the Chinese belief and philosophy. We allow many religions. We support Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. We listen to the ideas of all religions. We control the Silk Road which is a very big deal because many things are passed to people though the slik road. Not just things that you trade, but also culture. I think that my dynasty is importnat because we support many different religions, and we had a very large empire! Sadly, At this time the Chinese people are very mad at me for not giving government jobs to the Chinese. I am trying to be as great a ruler as my grandfather was.
After Kublai Khan died, a lot the Chinese poeple had the Black Death which is a plaque and millions of people died. Soon after that China was taken from the Mongols.
