One example of discrimination by the Mongols against the Chinese was the imposition of heavy taxes and tribute on the Chinese population, which placed a significant financial burden on them. Additionally, the Mongols often favored their own ethnic group for positions of power and authority, leading to a systematic exclusion of the Chinese from positions of leadership and influence.

The Mongols were a nomadic group of people that originated in Central Asia. Their leader, Genghis Khan, organized the people and they used their superb horsemanship and unique military tactics to conquer others, and eventually they established the largest empire in the world to this day. The empire spanned from China to the East to Turkey in the West, and from Russia in the north to Tibet in the South. Eventually the empire dissolved into four separate states, that were all trade friendly, but were not necessarily politically united. There was the Great Khanite, or the Yuan Dynasty in China; The Golden Horde, in present day Russia. The Chang'a'tai in Tibet/Central Asia; and the Ilkhanate in Persia. Each adapted to the cultures of the native people were there, except for in China they expelled all Chinese from the city and would not let the Chinese learn their language. Chinese people do not refer to the Yuan Dynasty as one of their dynasties, as they consider it more of a foreign rule period (read about it in the establishment of the Ming Dynasty).
