political events

Genoa has a popular uprising that ends control of the city-state by the Spinola and Dario families (see 1335); the first doge is installed in an effort to end disorders among the city's faction, and although both the Spinola and Dario families will attempt on several occasions to regain power they will not succeed (see 1531; Milan, 1353).

Venice conquers Treviso and gains her first mainland possession.

The Mongol minister Bayan who has dominated China's Yuan dynasty empire since 1333 is deposed by his nephew and sent into exile as rebellions erupt throughout the country. Having assumed nearly complete control of the government from the emperor Togon-temür, Bayan has tried to stop the absorption of Mongols into Chinese culture, going so far as to propose that all Chinese with the surnames Chang, Wang, Liu, Li, and Chao (90 percent of the population) be executed. Many of his policies will be reversed, but the Chinese economy is deteriorating and the Yuan dynasty's days are numbered (see 1355).
