The Song dynasty ultimately collapsed from too much bureaucracy and its weak military (although in fact, Song military expenditure was vastly more than at any other time previously in Chinese history, and the army was much larger ). It was unable to fight off invading tribes like the Khitan and the Jurchen, which invaded north China and forced the Song dynasty to the south in 1127. This invasion means that the Song dynasty is divided into the Northern Song, when the capital was at Kaifeng, and the Southern Song, when the capital was at Hangzhou. The [[Mongols]] then took over southern China in 1279, causing the complete end of the Song dynasty, and the beginning of the [[Yuan dynasty]], which ended in 1368.<ref>http://www.conservapedia.com/World_History_Lecture_Seven</ref>
