Hakata Bay
1274 & 1281 — Two invasions break here: the first mauled by samurai and scattered by a storm, the second — 140,000 men, history’s largest seaborne force before 1944 — held offshore for weeks by a new stone wall until the typhoon the Japanese name kamikaze, the divine wind, destroys the fleet.
This is one scene of Chapter 11 — The Limits of the World in The Mongol Empire, 1206–1294.
