    In my opinion, there are several reasons:

    1. The territory is too large. The Mongol Empire spanned Asia and Europe, spanning thousands of miles. Under the extremely inconvenient communication conditions in ancient times, it was difficult for the ruler to control the overall situation. Therefore, in many places, the Yuan Dynasty was beyond the reach of the whip.

    2. The people's will is not attached. Because the Mongol Empire was a vast area conquered by force, and in the course of the war, it was accompanied by various atrocities such as the massacre of cities, and the people in the areas under its jurisdiction had a sense of hatred for the Mongol Empire.

    3. The political system is unstable. The Mongols are steppe nomads, they are really not good at governing the country, so they imitate the form of Han political power, but they have not learned completely, and the power is still not understood by the Mongolian nobles who do not understand politics, and the social status of the Han nationality is the lowest, so it is difficult to govern such a huge state apparatus with this imperfect political system.

    4. Corruption. In the later period of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian aristocracy also became corrupt, they lost the combat effectiveness of their ancestors, and due to the decline in combat effectiveness, the regime ruled by high pressure had no original binding force, so the people rose up, and the rulers were powerless to return to heaven.

    The Mongol Empire is the predecessor of the Yuan Dynasty and was established by Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan was the fifth Great Khan of the Mongol Khanate and the grandson of Genghis Khan. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he was severely injured by a peasant uprising and was driven back north of the Great Wall by Zhu Yuanzhang. The capture of Beijing, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, meant the fall of the Yuan Dynasty.

    After the death of Möngke Khan in 1259, the brief unification of the Mongol Empire came to an end. Kublai Khan, who succeeded the Great Khan, limited his power to the East, the Yuan regime in China. After that, the Yuan Dynasty and the four major khanates in the West developed independently according to different paths.

    The Yuan Dynasty was part of the Mongol Empire, but after the defeat of Kublai Khan in the sea, the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire merged with the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, which was equivalent to a set of teams and two sets of brands, but at that time, the khanates outside the Yuan Dynasty did not listen to the words of the Mongolian Empire, and then the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty only nominally had suzerainty over the rest of the khanates.

    The Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yuan, the Yuan Dynasty emperor fled to the desert to establish the Northern Yuan, and later the last ** family was wiped out by Wara, and at the same time, the khanates of Europe and Central Asia also perished one after another, and the largest Golden Horde (also known as the Kipchak Khanate) was destroyed by Timur during the Ming Dynasty.

    The Mongol Empire was strong thanks to the following conditions:

    First, the military is actually strong in terms of annihilation.

    2. Both the monarch and the commander-in-chief are elected by virtue of military merit and can win the heartfelt support of the people.

    Third, the relative backwardness of the economy prompted the Mongols to expand vigorously.

    Fourth, the chaos and turmoil in other countries have created objective conditions for the Mongols.

    And it quickly collapsed for several reasons:

    1. Rushing to expand and failing to establish a solid political system.

    2. National oppression leads to resistance.

    3. Infighting within the ruling family.

    Fourth, without advanced culture, it is difficult to change hands to rule such a vast land.

    About Mongolia:

    Mongolia (Mongolia) is a landlocked country surrounded by China and Russia in central Asia.

    The capital and the largest city in the country is Ulaanbaatar. The main ethnic group is the Khalkha Mongols, with Kaisui accounting for about 80% of the country's population, in addition to ethnic minorities such as Kazakhs. The official language is Mongolian.
