  • In 1281, Japan seemed poised to fall, outnumbered by the mighty fleet of Kublai Khan. Then, according to legend, the Japanese Emperor prayed for salvation--and got it in the form of a devastating typhoon.

    Fun fact: The term "shogun" is generally translated to mean "barbarian-quelling generalissimo." A "generalissimo" is an Italian term basically meaning the highest ranking of all generals. What actually matters here, though, is the "barbarian-quelling" part, which was in reference to invaders like the Mongols.
    Fun fact 2: The Japanese term for "divine wind" is "kamikaze." "Kami" is the word for "god," "deity," "divinity," or "spirit," and "kami" was generally what nature spirits were called. "Kaze" means "wind." So, to the Japanese of the time, the kamikaze was a literal wind spirit or god. The term was around long before suicide fighter pilots co-opted it.

    Lucky for Japan ! The ruthless Mongols attacked and captured Nishapur city in northern Iran in 1221 and slaughtered the entire population. According to the estimates Mongols killed 5 to 10% of world's population in that era. Syria was so utterly depopulated after Mongol genocide that country's population did not recover until the 18th century nearly 500 years after the Mongol massacres.

    Yes very significant but the Mongol incursions of Southeast Asia in places like Vietnam and Java comprised huge fleets too. The Red River in northern Vietnam is like spider webs. The Mongol Yuan also used naval warships to invade Burma by sailing on the Iraawddi river to Taubaugn.

    This happened here in England, possibly in 1400s (sorry if I'm wrong) when England left Vatican Roman Catholicism for Anglicanism or Atheism as Catholics considered. Spain sent Warships to punish England & English army was outnumbered, almost conceding defeat. There's a mysterious, spiritual person or parson in England, who either was part of Royal family or was working for them. He knew how to manipulate weather as well. He did it & same happened, Spain lost just before conquering. Some believe he was helped by aliens or may be he'd some unearthly knowledge etc. Whatever, without this miracle happened, we might not see industrial revolution & more... We’d still live in dark age… Sadly, no one was there in Japan to help in 1945 during Hiroshima-Nagasaki... possibly they lost their spiritual power...

Maybe ENGLAND would have been set back a bit, but mainland Europe would probably be alright... Anyway, I'm just being argumentative 😂

    Many people are fascinated by the Mongols invasion and power. Does anyone know how they were eventually defeated and kicked out of the palace? Read Zhu Yuanzhang. He was a peasant who rebelled and eventually destroyed the Mongolian empire once and for all. Zhu was also the founder of the Ming Dynasty.

    Yes, it was divine intervention and the winds destroyed Kublai Khan’s invading navy twice; the word Kamikaze comes from the high winds located on the Korea Strait. However, the Japanese Army was much larger than the invading army; forty thousand troops and a thousand invading ships. When the Mongols landed on Hakata Bay they feared a counter attack at night, so, they withdrew to the safety of their ships and that night a large storm moved in to the Korea Strait and destroyed Khan’s navy. The lessons learned from those battles helped the Allied commanders when planning for the Normandy beach landings, if I remember correctly. Jesus, I love books!
