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.
