  Initially, the Song Dynasty had an alliance with the Mongols to maintain the north calm. Both tribes had the same enemy, the Jin Dynasty. But after the Mongols defeated Jin´s the alliance broke up because the Song captured the former imperial capital of Kaifeng. The Mongols then started a campaign against the Song that lasted 20 years and ended up with the creation of the Yuan Dynasty by Kublai Khan.
