The most famous European to serve in the Kublai government was probably Marco Polo (1254-1324). In the book, The Travels of Marco Polo, Polo is said to have served as a government official under the Mongolian ruler of China, Kublai Khan.According to the book, Polo served under Kublai Khan for two decades; however, scholars disagree on the truthfulness of The Travels of Marco Polo, as Polo may have collected stories he heard from other travelers and passed them off as his own.It is possible that Polo actually served under Kublai Khan; Kublai was visited by several Europeans during his reign in China.

In the 13th century China was split up into small, "tribal" groups. Genghis Khan started small-scale raids into the country to claim land and exert his power in about 1205-06. The conquest continued until 1279 when his grandson, Kublai Khan, crushed the last resistance and established the Yuan Dynasty which united the entire area under foreign rule. The Mongol Empire stretched from Eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan and everything in between. Kublai Khan died in 1294, and his remaining empire crumbled under family arguments for control and was overthrown in 1368.

When the Mongols invaded China they established the Yuan Dynasty under Kublai Khan (grandson of Genghis Khan). The Mongols were very wary of the Chinese people and did not want them in any sort of high government positions, which caused most of the power to be in the hands of Mongolian peoples. The Mongols built many palaces and monuments and generally supported Chinese cultural acts. The Yuan Dynasty saw advancements in the arts as well as an influx of cartography, foods, and knowledge from the Muslim world. They even had a unified way of writing Chinese and Mongolian. However as the Mongols became greedier, they began to drain China of much of its wealth and induced forced labor to an extent. After Kublai Khan's death the dynasty lingered for a few years and in 1368 it ended with China having a bitterness toward the Mongols
The mighty Mongolian Empire was founded by Tiemuzhen, who initially unified all tribes of the Mongolian minority and was honored as Genghis Khan (meaning the ruler of the world). Since then, the Genghis Khan led his invincible army to start a large-scale offensive into the outside World. In A.D. 1211 an army of over 100,000 horsemen invaded China. By around A.D. 1270 all of China lay under the control of the Mongols. The Mongol invasion of China lasted over 6 decades and particularly involved the defeat of the Jin Dynasty, Western Xia, the Dali Kingdom, and the Southern Song, which finally fell in year 1276. The Mongols under Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty in China and crushed the last Song resistance in 1279, which marked the onset of all of China under the Yuan. This was the first time that whole China was ruled by a non-Chinese ruler. Genghis Khan only managed to conquer the Xixia and the Jin empire while his descendent Kublai Khan conquered the Southern Song dynasty.
