Mongols take China

In 1200 the mongols, led by Genghis Kahn (A.K.A Universal Ruler), took over northern China. Genghis Kahn, who I visited briefly, was born in 1162 and lived until 1227, and united warring mongol tribes. How did he do this when no one else could? Well, at the age of 15 he was put in prison and humiliated. Upon escaping, he learned how to influence people with his words, allowing him to unite the Mongols. Thus, he had power to overtake China and impose Mongol Rule on them. Genghis Kahn was known as a ruthless, determined, and courageous leader, and after meeting him I understood why. Genghis Kahn was determined. He tried hard to take over northern China, which was rewarded by him being successful. I talked to him about what he thought the main reason was to why he succeeded in taking China. He responded with his skilled horseman, and the fact that the Mongols were so united, as they hadn't been for a long time, or possibly, never had been before. 70 years after he took northern, his grandson Kublai Kahn conquered southern China. The Sung empire was conquered in 1279. For most of the time I visited this time period, I lived among the Chinese people. The mongols demanded absolute loyalty, had the best horseman in the world, didn't bug the people much as long as they paid a tribute to the Mongols, and had a strict military discipline. Only mongols were allowed to join the military, and only mongols could be government officials. This made it harder for Chinese people to revolt because they were not disciplined or trained in the military, and didn't have many weapons.
Kublai Kahn made Beijing the capital, and renamed it Khanbaliq. After Kublai's death, his son often attempted to expand the mongol rule even further. The mongol dynasty (also referred to as Yuan Dynasty) was the first and only to capture Russia during the winter. Ain Julet was the city that stopped the mongols from capturing Jerusalem, and stopped westward expansion.
After a while, mongol rule began to dwindle. China was just too big, and there weren't enough Mongols to keep China under there rule. Mongol rule ended, allowing the Ming (meaning brilliant) dynasty to take over.
