Episode 5: “The Plague” 00:00-11:52

Ponder Answer these reflective questions? Why were Mongols such an intimidating enemy? How did the Mongols connect their vast empire?

Mongol Rule in China Kublai is tolerant and does not force the Chinese to adopt Mongol ways. Some Mongols adopt aspects of Chinese culture, like Confucianism. Still, Chinese are resentful of rule by foreigners, whom they saw as rude and uncivilized.

Mongol Rule in China Mongols keep control by preventing scholar officials from gaining too much power and levying heavy taxes. Taxes used to expand public works projects Kublai extends Grand Canal to Beijing, and builds a highway.

Growth of Trade Yuans favor a policy of non-isolationism Mongol soldier presence, kept overland trade routes (Silk Road) safe for Merchants, increasing overland trade Mongol Emperors welcome foreign traders at Chinese ports, increasing overseas trade.

Marco Polo at the Mongol Court Venetian trader, Marco Polo, visits China in 1275. Polo returns to Venice in 1292; tells stories of what he saw in China. Fabulous cities, fantastic wealth Burning “black stones (coal) to heat Chinese homes Kublai Khan’s government and trade in Beijing

Factors of the Fall of the Yuan Dynasty Chinese resentment of foreign rule and heavy taxes. Extensive public works projects weakened the economy. Failed invasions of Japan weaken the Mongol Military. Bent on conquest, Kublai tries and fails to Conquer Japan in 1274 and 1281. In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang leads a rebellion and reunifies China under the Ming Dynasty.
