	Kublai Khan - LoveToKnow 1911
		KUBLAI KHAN (or Ikaan, as the supreme ruler descended from Jenghiz was usually distinctively termed in the 13th century) (1216-1294), the most eminent of the successors of Jenghiz (Chinghiz), and the founder of the Mongol dynasty in China.
		Kublai was born in 1216, and, young as he was, took part with his younger brother Hulagu (afterwards conqueror of the caliph and founder of the Mongol dynasty in Persia) in the last campaign of Jenghiz (1226-27).
		Kublai assumed the succession, but it was disputed by his brother Arikbugha and by his cousin Kaidu, and wars with these retarded the prosecution of the southern conquest.

	Kublai Khan, the Son of Heaven
		In June of 1259, while Kublai was in the midst of a siege against the city of Wuchang on the Yangtze River in western Hubei Province, devastating news arrived; his brother, Mangu Khan was dead.
		Kublai short-circuited the growing internal feuds by inducing his own relatives, the Mongol generals of his armies in China and the Mongol viceroys of the Chinese provinces, to gather at his own quriltai in the oasis city of Shangdu, north of the Jin capital at Yench'ing (Zhongdu).
		Kublai Khan already held possession of a greater expanse of territory than that acquired by either Alexander the Great or the Roman Empire, and the Japanese felt he could hardly be expected to give the conquest of a little offshore principality like Japan a very high priority.

		Kublai Khan was born in 1215, the fourth son of Genghis Khan's fourth son.

		For example, the catastrophic loss of life during Kublai's second failed invasion of Japan due to a typhoon was the largest loss of life in a single day, ever, until, ironically, the bomb on Hiroshima in 1945.

		Without Kublai, who had to bridge his Mongol ancestry and Chinese constituency, the Chinese capital would still have been in the south of the country, as it always had been, closer to the water and on much more fertile soil.
