Khubulay was the youngest brother of Munkh Khan, the son of Tulay and the grandson of Chingis. Khubulay Khan transferred the political center of the Mongolian Empire to Beijing to the south and founded the Mongolian Dynasty in China. This dynasty, called the Yuan Dynasty, lasted almost exactly 100 years, and ruled over China and Tibet. Although the Chinese expelled the Mongols and eradicated any evidence of the Khanate in Beijing, China's modern-day claims to Inner Mongolia and Tibet are derived from the fact that the Yuan Dynasty ruled Mongolia and Tibet at the same time it ruled China. |
