The Chinese learned from the
Mongol about how to form a
cavalry with their army.
A cavalry is an army of sol-
diers on horseback.
Both a saddle and stirrup,
which is a leather ring on the
saddle where a soldier put
his feet gave a soldier greater
control over his horse. Many
believe the Mongols were
some of the first to use stir-
rups.
Different groups in China had
their own building styles.
The Mongols were nomadic
and built yurts.
Yurts are rounded tents held
up by a wooden pole frame-
work.
They were covered by skins
and easy to move.
Kublai Khan died in 1294
and his successors are weak.
Rebellion breaks out and the
Ming Dynasty is formed in
1368.
