  • Tornados
  • Typhoons
  • Economic depression
  • Samurai
Explanation

During the Mongolian invasions of Japan, the Mongol boats were mostly stopped by typhoons. Typhoons, or powerful tropical cyclones, played a significant role in disrupting and destroying the Mongol fleet as they attempted to invade Japan in the 13th century. These typhoons, known as kamikaze or "divine winds," proved to be a natural barrier against the invaders as they caused immense damage to the Mongol ships and prevented their progress, ultimately compelling them to retreat. The typhoons served as a crucial defense mechanism for Japan, protecting the country from foreign invasions and cementing their reputation as unconquerable by outside forces during this time.
