The Mongol Empire began to split politically with the Toluid Civil War during 1260–1264 and the death of Kublai Khan in 1294, but the term "Ikh Khagan" (Great Khan, or Emperor) was still used by the emperors of the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), who assumed the role of Emperor of China, and after the fall of the Yuan in China (1368) it continued to be used during the Northern Yuan dynasty in Mongolia homeland.
