Image title
Japan: Letter from Kublai Khan to the Emperor of Japan, written in Classical Chinese (the lingua franca in East Asia at the time), dated 8th Month, 1266.
Auto-translated text View Original Source
Date
1266 AD (C13th AD)
Image description

The Mongol invasions of Japan of 1274 and 1281 were major military invasions undertaken by Kublai Khan to conquer the Japanese islands after the submission of Korea. Despite their ultimate failure, the invasion attempts are of historical importance, because they set a limit on Mongol expansion, and rank as nation-defining events in Japanese history. The Japanese were successful, in part because the Mongols lost up to 75% of their troops and supplies as a result of major storms at sea. These were named 'kamikaze' or divine winds by the Japanese.
