Yuan

The Yuan Dynasty, which lasted from 1279-1368 A.D. The Mongols were culturally very different from the Chinese. This made ruling them very difficult. The government of the Yuan Dynasty had virtually no Chinese. The excessive spending and trade restriction enacted during the Yuan Dynasty severely depleted China economically. There was a large cultural gap between the ruling Mongols in Chinese territory, which led to many disagreements. The Chinese were forbidden to learn to speak any other language. []
