In the year 1976, in the month of January, in the general elections of Virginia, a statement was written and then passed by Thomas Jefferson which resulted in the separation of the church and the state.
This was made to provide religious freedom to the people so that the people could follow any religion they wanted to follow. This was commonly known as the Virginia statue for religious freedom, 1786 made to give freedom to the people on the basis of religion.
It was to pay down their war debts from fighting the French in the Seven Years' War.
Under Kublai Khan the Mongol empire reached its largest extension. He ruled over 24000000 km² (nearly 10000000 mi²). The empire went from China and Korea to Iran and southern Russia, from the Korean peninsula to the Danube River.
During Kublai's reign the empire was divided into four smaller Kanatos but he still remained as the Great Khan of all of them. He was actually the first Khan to successfully conquest China in 1279, making him the first Yuan ruler of the whole China. After his death, the mongols didn't elect a new Khan and the Kanatos became more independent.
