    The Jin dynasty, officially known as the Great Jin (/dʒɪn/),[2] lasted from 1115 to 1234 as
    one of the last dynasties in Chinese history to predate the Mongol invasion of China. Its name
    is sometimes written as Kin, Jurchen Jin or Jinn in English to differentiate it from an earlier
    Jìn dynasty of China whose name is identical when transcribed without tone marker diacritics
    in the Hanyu Pinyin system for Standard Chinese.[3] It is also sometimes called the "Jurchen
    dynasty" or the "Jurchen Jin", because its founding leader Aguda (reign 1115–1123) was of
    Wanyan Jurchen descent.

    The Jin emerged from Taizu's rebellion against the Liao dynasty (907–1125), which held
    sway over northern China until the nascent Jin drove the Liao to the Western Regions, where
    they became known as the Western Liao. After vanquishing the Liao, the Jin launched an
    over hundred-year war against the Song dynasty (960–1279), which was based in southern
    China. Over the course of their rule, the Jurchens of Jin quickly adapted to Chinese customs,
    and even fortified the Great Wall against the rising Mongols. Domestically, the Jin oversaw a
    number of cultural and technological advancements, such as the development of gunpowder
    and the revival of Confucianism.

    The Mongols invaded the Jin under Genghis Khan in 1211 and inflicted catastrophic defeats
    on Jin armies. Though the Jin seemed to suffer a never-ending wave of defeats, revolts,
    defections, and coups, they proved to have tenacity. The Jin only succumbed to Mongol
    conquest 23 years later in 1234
