The Great Yuan (Mongolian: ᠳᠠᠢ ᠦᠨ ᠤᠯᠤᠰ; Chinese: 大元) was the Mongol imperial dynasty of China. It was proclaimed in 1271 by Kublai Khan to be not only the dynastic successor of the Song, the native regime in China, but his continuation of the Mongol Empire. The disintegration of the Mongol Empire meant that the Yuan was in reality only one of several realms claiming to be its legitimate successor.[1] After destroying the Song in 1279,[2] it ruled China until 1368, when it was overthrown by the Red Turban Rebellions that established the native Ming dynasty.[1] Yuan governance retreated to their Mongolian homeland and endured there as an independent nation until 1635 when they were conquered by the Jin,[3] who soon after rechristened themselves the Great Qing.[4] Historiographically, the Great Yuan is commonly known as the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368) from its proclamation to the end of its rule of China and the Northern Yuan (1368–1635) when it solely ruled Mongolia.
