How did the Mongols Conquer China?
video description
2. Before the rise of the Mongols, it was the Turkic people, the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, who controlled the Mongolian plateau, but after Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, wiped out the Eastern Turkic and Western Turkic peoples, a vacuum period arose in the nomadic plateau region. This land was successively contested by the Hui falcons, the Shatuo Turks, the Dang Xiang Qiang (also the ancestors of the Western Xia, and the Khitan. The final victors were the Khitan, who established the Liao Kingdom, but the Khitan, who already controlled northern China, did not want to return to nomadic areas. The Mongols emerged from this process, and Genghis Khans great-grandfather, Hepbul Khan, united the various tribes and gave rise to the concept of the Mongols. Hebure Khan defeated the Khitan several times, but was forced to submit due to the huge power gap between the two sides.
3. AD1236-AD1242, the Mongols attacked the then many principalities of Rus and defeated their allied forces. -
In AD1240-AD1241, this army led by Battuta, Speedy, Mongol, and Guiyu was divided into two groups and took amazing high speed maneuvers to surround and tempt the enemy deeper in the Battle of Legnica and the Battle of Tisza River to annihilate the main Hungarian and Polish armies. They also created false kings documents to deceive the nobles all over Hungary after attacking Hungary and occupying Pest and Bra. -
In AD1242, the Mongols invaded the Second Bulgarian Empire and Bulgaria became a vassal state of Mongolia.
4. Genghis Khan died before defeating the Southern Song Dynasty, and AD 1258, the Mongol Khan Mongol died in the Battle of Diaoyu Castle. In fact, the Mongols fighting power was the most amazing in this period. The unique geography of Vietnam can also be seen here indeed while the battle of Ilkhanate against Mamluk, which represents the rapid decline of Mongol fighting power, took place in AD1281.
It is important to mention here that the geography of the Vietnamese region and the strength of their resistance were equally impressive. AD 1257, AD 1284-AD 1288, the Mongol invasion of Vietnam, the Vietnamese Chen dynasty defeated the forces of the Yuan dynasty several times (this period saw a Mongol heir crisis after the death of Mongol, but at least nominally Kublai defeated the other contenders for the position of Mongol Khan, but except for The khanates outside Ilkhanate were not actually subservient. (At the same time he crowned himself Emperor of the Great Yuan). In war after war, the Yuan dynasty was surprised by the tenacity of Vietnam and began to increase its leverage. The Vietnamese Chen dynasty eventually became bitter at this endless invasion and was forced to choose to become a vassal state. The Mongols, on the other hand, turned their attention to Burma.
5. The Mongols are divided into many branches, the western Nai Mongols are Christian and followers of Nestorianism, while the eastern Muroves are descendants of the Xianbei people left over from the Han dynasty. The central and southern Mongols were under the command of Genghis Khans Golden Family. The northern Mongols, on the other hand, were known to them as the Khalkha Mongols, and these northern Mongols were made up of tribes affiliated with the Mongols. This continues to this day, and since the secession of Mongolia from the Republic of China since World War II, their main population is the Khalkha Mongols.
6. We have to understand in any case that the rise of the Mongols in the 13th century was essentially a cataclysm. He was in no way inferior to the destruction of Arab civilization by the Turkic Ghulam, or to the destruction of Western Rome by the Huns and Goths and Vandals. Every civilization that resisted them should be proud of it.\r\n

No mention of many details. Though Mongols brought all China under one control, which would be very useful for coming Chinese Dynasties. Same as Mughals have done in India, a near relatives of Mongols. Babar the founder of Mughal empire was direct descendent of Genghis Khan, numerous spelling of his name, western and Muslims, since they became Muslims, so spelling of name.
The original story told & read of Mongols first penetration into China was very superhuman. The Mongols use to ride for 6 hours form their camping area to China, where they would shut gates of fortress on early warning system.
It was estimated that Mongols who ride horses bear, meaning without any seat or other cushioning material. The Chinese has estimated that it would take in such condition of riding Mongols 6 hours to come to gates of fortress.
The Mongols then did extra human fleet, they rode to their camps and return immediately back, thus riding continuously for 12 hours, and they took China with complete surprise.
In all history, except for post modern, where fire power is winning factor, in past it was often poor, tough people, who organised and became much feared invaders as Mongols and Mughals & other numerous horseback militia did as Golden Hordes etc. The Crimean much feared Muslim Turk militia, which kept Crimean a vessel state of Ottoman Empire.

Technically, Mongolia never really conquered China. The battle between Mongolia and song lasted for more than 50 years, and China actually brought down the Mongolia empire. This is full of st. China was fully controlled by Yuan dynasty which was established by Chinese system and recognized as China formal heir. The last Mongolia king was killed during th battles with song army in sichuan province which directly led the collapse of the Mongolia empire. One of 4 splitted Mongolia empire established Yuan with acknowledge Chinese which convicted most Chinese accepted the non-han ethnic roller.

The Mongol Empire conquered China? The country that perished in 1259 conquered the Southern Song Dynasty which perished in 1279? After being defeated by the Song Empire, the Mongolian Empire was divided! A large number of political powers in northern China are independent, and the biggest one is Kublai, who was naturalized in Confucianism. Established the Yuan Empire, Yuan Empire = Mongol Empire? Isn't that the same as America = China? The official language and writing system of Yuan Empire all came from Han nationality, not Mongolian nationality -

Jin is not chinese, it is one of Korean Kingdom. Also Korea was not conquered as noted in Mongol History. Last chinese hisotry was Ming in 1600s when Ming disappeared in culture and name. That is why people use the word -China- which is to describe Qing / Jin Empire. The put this in prospective, when European came to American, that is when Ming were conquered and destroyed by Jin people or Kim of Korean People. This is quick history after Mongol collapse.

Mongolia is a historical accident. In 100 years, three powerful nomadic empires have emerged in the grasslands of northern China. The Han people (Song) lost the Great Wall and cavalry (horse-producing area) in continuous wars with them. After the rise of Mongolia, the army that concentrated in Arabia, Central Asia, and Europe destroyed Song in the war of attrition. (One city was besieged for forty years before surrendering. This is unique among nomads.

Fortunately in Vietnam, we have a god to protect us, so we can't be conquered, Genghis Khan is one of the greatest conquerors of the ancient and western world. The horse was hunted by the enemy, but he rode the horse to build the machete to unify the tribes, and even crossed ten thousand li to defeat the woman who captured Trung Do ie Beijing today, only 100, 000 iron cavalry. roaming the whole world, truly a hero of ancient times

The story in America is that the Tarim Basin redheaded giants -brought their own Mongols- when they took over North America and founded Muscovy Tartaria here. These would be the Amur/Amorite people from the enormous Amur river drainage basin who spoke Gaelic and wore tartan, kinda the Irish origins of civilization. Their Ket Gaelic is the root of many American Indian languages and there's your critical race.

States then can field hundreds of thousands of soldiers because of mandatory conscription and abject poverty. People were so poor that being in the army meant eating at least twice or thrice a day; so it doesn't take much coaxing to enlist men into the army. Although irregular, soldiers were also paid meager salaries and a share in the spoils.

Nice work totally but some mistakes:
1, the appearance of the king of Xia and JINN is wrong, the video showed the clothes and hairstyle of Qing dynasty, the last chinese dynasty.
2, the position of Xiangyang is wrong.
3, the last battle between Song and Mongol empire happened in Yashan, not Yamen

Mongols used Southern China against Northern China (Jurchens ) and when they succeeded they flip the script and used the North against the South. So basically the Chinese helped defeat each other. In fact during the wars, the Han Chinese banners who fought for the Mongols outnumbered the actual Mongols

However, in China's historical point of view, the books tell you they are both Chinese because they are yellow skin color, black eyes, and black hair color)-

Your map is not accurate. Jin dynasty did not have that much land, and between Jin and Xia there was the Liao dynasty, which bordered with the Song. Jin bordered with the Liao. Liao and Song had a peace agreement. Jin and Liao were fighting each other.

Han Chinese soldiers defected because Song never value them compare to scholars. These soldiers were like second class citizens in the power grid. They had a much better career prospect with the Mongols than with their Han emperor, so they defected.
