Bro exhausted his empire from so many conquests and attempted conquests. Sure he got Song taken care of and that was huge, and yeah he subjugated Goryeo.
But two failed invasions of Japan and like infinity failed invasion of Dai Viet cost him. Just like Louis XIV he overextended.

Kublai really said, “I’ll do it again.”

He was not in any point of his life go by "Genghis" without the "Khan".
