1281: In his second attempt at invading Japan, Mongol emperor Kublai Kahn has assembled 140,000 troops aboard 4,400 ships. Earlier in the year the Japanese inflicted heavy losses on the Mongol invaders, first at Tsushima, and again at Shikano and Iki Islands. On August 15th the Mongol fleet was hit by a monster typhoon, now called Kamikaze, or Divine Wind. Most of the Chinese craft were flat-bottomed coastal boats not designed for ocean use, and around 4,000 of them were destroyed with the loss of 110,000 troops.
