A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Khubilai Khan's ambitious but disastrous naval campaigns against Japan in 1274 and 1281. They begin with a brief recap of the Mongol Empire's expansion post-Genghis Khan, then dive into Khubilai's demand for submission from the Kamakura shogunate, the samurai-led defense at Hakata Bay, and the construction of the massive stone barrier that held off the Mongols. The discussion highlights the role of the legendary 'kamikaze' typhoons that destroyed Mongol fleets, and the lasting impact on Japanese identity and military strategy. Lucas explains the logistical nightmare of assembling two invasion fleets—the first of 900 ships and the second of 4,400—and the typhoons that scattered them. The episode also touches on the internal turmoil in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty and how the failed invasions weakened Khubilai's rule. A vivid, specific look at a pivotal moment that shaped East Asian history.
