What led to the downfall of the Song Dynasty?

Turbulent times between the Southern Song and the Jin were caused to the Emperor Gaozong ... Due to weak military strength the Northern Song were not able to withstand the invasion from the Jin Dynasty. In 1127 the Jin army captured the Northern Song capital of Kaifeng, ending the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty thought that if they could gain the Xia territory, they could perhaps reestablish the lucrative Silk Road trade that benefited the earlier Han (206 BC - 220 AD) and Tang Dynasties. The Song Dynasty managed to win several military victories over the Tanguts in the early 11th century.
