The Battle of Hakata Bay, 1281 A.D. The Mongol Invasion of Japan
Manage episode 435789284 series 3591999
The obliteration of the Mongol fleets (by the "divine wind," the "kamikaze") ensured Japan's sovereignty, safeguarding the island nation from foreign conquest. However, this triumph over the external threat did not bring peace. Instead, it ignited a fierce internal power struggle within the military government, ultimately shifting the balance of power. The Bakufu, once mere protectors of the realm, solidified their dominance, overshadowing the emperor’s authority and laying the groundwork for military rule to take precedence over imperial governance.
Hakata Bay. August 1281.
Mongol Forces: ~ 140,000
Japanese Forces: Unknown quantity of Samurai and Local Fighters
