Pagan falls
1287 — The kingdom of the eleven thousand temples fractures after Yuan columns descend the Irrawaddy; Burma becomes a tributary. It is the machine’s last clear win in the south — and even here, garrisons melt in the heat and the court soon rules through local kings.
This is one scene of Chapter 11 — The Limits of the World in The Mongol Empire, 1206–1294.
