What if the mongols had failed to conquer the mountainous region of Yunnan, contemporaneously controlled by the Dali kingdom? I hear that the mongols were lucky to conquer such a place.
Would the Dali kingdom remain independent for the rest of foreseeable history or is it likely that the post-Yuan chinese would conquer the place anyway? If the former is true, then how will an independent Bai state develop?
