The Mongols take China

Our next discussion is the invasion of mongols. They ruled a large empire for fifty years before invading my country. This happened in my neighborhood in Northern China. This was around my time in 1276 AD. The Mongol leader, Kublai Khan, led this group to invade China. Another concept is that Kublai was Genghis Khan's grandson. After the invasion, Kublai declared himself the emperor of China in 1281 AD. I was talking with some Chinese politician, and he said that Kublai's rule wasn't very successful. He said that the citizens of China got mad at Kublai for giving all of the jobs such as government to the Venetians. This politician was upset because Kublai should have gave the Chinese the government jobs. So, this was a negative impact when the Mongols took over.
