The Southern Song Dynasty 1127-1279 CE was established in 1127 after the conquest of the Northern Song by the Jurchen (Jin Dynasty). The distinction between Northern and Southern Song dynasties is where the capital is located. The Southern Song capital was established at Hangzhou. The Song allied with the Jin to defeat the Liao Dynasty, after the defeat an alliance formed between the Jin and the Song. The alliance soon fell apart and the Jin turned on the Song. The Jin pushed the Song south past the Huai River where they held their ground and established the Northern border between the Jin and the Southern Song.
