Japan may be removed from the map if not for a factor that everyone hates

Not only 1 but 2 times! Without this factor, it is unlikely that the world today has a country called Japan.

Summer is causing many people to be impatient with the persistently hot sunshine. So much so that people can create food that has 1-0-2 hot days of sunshine, like grilling meat, baking fish in the sun, or drying . a sunny sunshine, a sunny egg .

But perhaps it will give a little sympathy to the summer, knowing that it was the hottest season of this year that saved both a nation and a culture that today the world must admire.

That country is Japan , and the story takes place from the 13th century.

Conquered by one of the most powerful armies in history

At the end of the 13th century, Japan was in crisis due to the conquest of the Mongols, with the leadership of the Great Khan Khanate.

The powerful Mongols looked at Japan many times.

At that time, Mongolia was one of the most powerful, powerful, and brutal armies, occupying up to 1/5 of the world. But with the ambition to unify the world, the Mongols needed Japan as a fulcrum - a base on the sea.

In 1274, Mongolia boarded a boat to attack Japan with a completely overwhelming number - up to four thousand troops, captured 2 islands of Tsushima and Iki. With an overwhelming number of troops, plus too strong road battle skills, Japan was almost exhausted.

Bloody battles between the Mongols and Japanese samurai caused heavy damage.

But when approaching Hakata Bay, encountering the unyielding spirit of Japanese samurai, the Mongols were forced to temporarily retreat to their bases in China. For one thing, the Japanese army also suffered heavily, making it difficult to resist if the Mongols continued to attack later.

And this is the moment when miracles happen.

Miracles named "summer"

Summer is a hurricane season, a season of hurricanes. Heat from the Sun evaporates sea water, forming tropical depressions and storms with tremendous winds. And by chance, Japan is also the place most affected by storms.

On the way back, the Mongols encountered a giant hurricane . In fact, even modern ships are unlikely to be able to fight against tropical storms as early shipbuilding technology from the 12th century. As a result, after a few days, two-thirds of Mongolia's war boats lying on the seabed, the majority of soldiers drowned. The rest withdrawn to China.

Artwork of the hurricane swept away Mongolian boats.

Devouring without defeat, 7 years later - in 1281, Kublai Khan once again conquered Japan, with nearly five times more troops. However, this time, the Japanese have built a 2m high wall around the coast to prevent a second invasion.

The Mongol army could not find a stop, and was forced to stay in the sea to find a landing point. After a few months, another typhoon struck again, wiping out the entire fleet of thousands of ships. The Mongols were forced to give up, and never invaded Japan again.

Kamikaze hurricane swept away the enemy.

These two hurricanes were called "Kamikaze" by the Japanese - meaning "wind god" , brought by the Spirit and Thunder God to the invaders.

However, for the scientific world, what created those two storms was summer. In other words, summer is the "savior" for the land of the rising Sun.
