The Mongol invasion of China lasted over six decades, and defeated the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song. The Mongols under control of Kublai Khan established the Yuan dynasty in China and destroyed the Last Song resistance and broke through the great wall in 1279, which marked the onset of all China under the Yuan. This was the first time that China as a whole was ruled under and by a foreign state.
