In 1279 AD, the Song Dynasty in China fell to the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty, marking the end of centuries of Song rule. This event culminated in the Battle of Yamen, where the Song navy was decisively defeated. The conquest of the Southern Song Dynasty completed the Mongol unification of China under Kublai Khan, who then established himself as the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. This transition significantly influenced Chinese culture, governance, and interactions with the wider world.

The Mongol conquest of China, primarily under Genghis Khan and later his grandson Kublai Khan, took several decades and involved a series of military campaigns. The Mongols first unified the various tribes of Mongolia and then launched invasions into northern China starting in the early 13th century, defeating the Jin Dynasty by 1234. Afterward, Kublai Khan focused on the Southern Song Dynasty, which was finally conquered by 1279, leading to the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty. The Mongols employed superior military tactics, psychological warfare, and strategic alliances to facilitate their conquest.
Song loyalists in the South revolted. Mongol expeditions of 1274 and 1280 against Japan failed. Other Mongol forces were defeated in Vietnam and Java.

Invaders, particularly the Jurchens and Mongols, significantly impacted the Song dynasty by leading to its fragmentation and eventual collapse. The Jurchens established the Jin dynasty after conquering northern China, forcing the Song to retreat to the south and establish the Southern Song. This shift resulted in economic and cultural changes, as the Southern Song thrived in trade and innovation despite the loss of territory. Ultimately, the Mongol invasion culminated in the downfall of the Song and the establishment of the Yuan dynasty.
