Japanese should be Mongol
Here’s a map of the Mongol Empire.
Notice how Japan is not part of it — but it’s not because they didn’t try.
In 1274 and 1281, the Mongol empire tried to invade Japan. Both times they failed.
In the first invasion, the Mongols were winning the battles — until an unseasonable typhoon just smashed all their boats to pieces.
Then, they tried again… and another unseasonable typhoon destroyed all their ships and stranded them there.
What are the chances that two unseasonable typhoons would occur exactly when the Mongols invaded?
The Japanese would later call this “kamikaze”, which means “divine wind”.
