Profile

Kublai Khan conquered China and became the first emperor of its Yüan, or Mongol, dynasty. He was thus at one and the same time the overlord of all the Mongol dominions and the ruler of his own realm of China. To govern China, with its long and individual political and cultural history, he demanded statecraft of a special order.
