Before Kublai Khan took over China, it had an open social hierarchy system wherein the citizens could take up civil examinations in order to move forward. Kublai Khan turned this open system into a closed one and demoted the elite literary group.
He made sure that the elite were only those who had inherited it by birth. While this happened, the artisans and craftsmen were given increasing importance and therefore everyone turned towards art as a form of expression as a means of saving their lives. The- literati were made to write to entertain their elite masters.
However, few Europeans ventured in the territory and it was still largely ruled by the Native American tribes. In 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France. A large part of Wyoming was included in the land. The first white man to enter Wyoming was explorer John Colter in 1807.
Soviets refused to end their occupation there which caused lots of trouble.
