Answer:

An uprising led by a peasant

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fall of the House of Yuan - By the time of Kubilai’s death, the Yuan dynasty was weakening. Song loyalists in the South revolted. Mongol expeditions of 1274 and 1280 against Japan failed. Other Mongol forces were defeated in Vietnam and Java. Kubilai’s successors lacked talent, and the Yuan administration became corrupt. The suffering peasantry was called upon by the scholar-gentry to drive out the “barbarians.” By the 1350s, the dynasty was too weak to control all of China. Famines stimulated local risings- secret societies dedicated to overthrowing the dynasty formed. Rival rebels fought each other. Many Mongols returned to central Asia. Finally, a peasant leader, Ju Yuanzhang, triumphed and founded the Ming dynasty.
