The reason why the Mongols suddenly left Java was because monsoon wind will soon end and they doesn't want stuck on hostile island for 6 month, they intended to come back with proper army for invasion of about 100k vs 30k on this punitive expedition (which was originally to punish Kertanegara but bro killed by Jayakatwang so the Mongol capture and executed him) but Kublai Khan died and Raden Wijaya just come to fill the power vacuum.

The Japanese beach defenses didn't really fail. They inflicted grievous losses on the Mongol armies from their shore defenses, causing the mongols to stay on their ships where they were eventually hit by a storm. The madlad Japanese were actually getting onto boats THEMSELVES to attack mongols in their ships, which caused the mongols to lash their ships together so that they could better respond to these Japanese naval raids. It was the lashing together of ships that meant they were terribly equipped to deal with a storm. So if it wasn't for Japanese military success the Mongols would not have been severely affected by the typhoon.

[@peekaboo1575]

Interesting. I was aware that the Japanese offered heavy resistance and that the Mongols went back to their ships to figure things out, but I never knew that the Japs were also preparing to board the Mongol ships and that this led to the Mongols being at a poor position when the storm came. You learn something new every day. :^)

Fun facts: The mongols invasion of Vietnam is surprisingly similar to the Napoleonic invasion of Russia, half a millenium later. Both armies seemed invincible going into war, both relied on their mobility to overwhelm opponents. Both had rapid early success, captured the capital cities but the vietnameses and russians abandoned their capital and employed attrition warfare. As the war dragged on, the mongols and the frenchs were then severely weakened by guerilla attacks, the weather, diseases, lack of food and other logistic problems. When they retreated, they faced ambushes and counter attacks and suffered catastrophic defeats, to the point their grand armies were close to be wiped out completely.

The most impressive thing about the Mongols is that they conquered so much land and countries that they were the biggest empire to have ever existed on the planet, but left zero structures behind. No statues, no palaces, no giant walls of a city, not even a freaking bridge over a river or something. And that's because for all their conquering, they never once stopped being a nomadic civilization. Sure, they had VERY fancy tents, when you are the ruler of most of the known world you get to have the best tent ever. But its still a tent, it doesn't last centuries, its not supposed to. When a Mongol saw one of those epic palaces in China, they were all like "Yeah, that palace is nice, but with this tent I can go anywhere."

They were not only skilled at their superior horse archery skills, but also close melee combat as well. During their campaign on middle east, they dismounted their horses and waded into melee or resort to artillery as they faced mountainous terrian or fortress. They didn't conquer the half of the world with no reason.

[@Emilechen]

you are right, at that time, Japan didn't even have the ability to send a navy to stop the Mongol fleets,

[@otozinclus3593]

But the Mongols weren't even invading Japan. The Soldiers used for the invasion of Japan were mostly soldiers from previously occupied cities, as well as them not having many horses, because you can't carry many on a boat. Therefore the Mongol army that I vaded Japan was a totally different compared to the usual Mongol armies. Far worse, low on resources, low on morale, lots of communication issues The Mongols had the advantige in good commanders and a likely bigger army, but from all we know, there is not enough reliable information to judge if the Japanese would have won the second invasion regardless or not. However, the story that Japan got dominated and got only saved by the hurricane is just untrue. It was more like a rather equal battle, at worst just favouring the Mongols a bit, which then got made a lot easier for the Japanese

It's crazy to think that if the Mongols had lost basically a single battle during their rise, they would have collapsed. Up until the aftermath of conquering the Jin, I'd say, one single decisive defeat would have crippled them, and human history would have gone in a different direction.

[@Taospark]

They did have some sizeable defeats of tens of thousands especially going into Southern China but Genghis then Ogedai and Kublai began employing mad artillery.

[@ArdaSReal]

[@Intranetusa]

The first Mongol invasion of Japan was different from the second Mongol invasion of Japan. During the first invasion, the Japanese beach defenses failed, the Mongols captured the beach, and the Mongol armies penetrated miles inland. The Mongols went back to their ships for the night to resupply and was then hit by the typhoon. During the second invasion, the Mongol fleet was split into a smaller Korean fleet and larger Southern Chinese fleet. The Korean fleet arrived in Japan first but couldnt defeat the newly constructed beach fortifications, so they retreated to some islands nearby to wait for the Chinese fleet. When the Chinese fleet arrived, both fleets got hit by a typhoon.
