Answer:

Failed military campaigns

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, there were two major factors that led to the decline of the Yuan Dynasty: one was the class conflict caused by the heavy taxation, the other one was the ethnic contradiction resulting from the 'Four Class System'. ... Also, power struggles within the ruling class became more and more serious.
