Video - The Divine Winds of Japan

Did you know that Japan was saved by a "divine intervention" not once, but twice? In 1274 and again in 1281, the Mongol Empire, led by Kublai Khan, tried to invade Japan, launching massive fleets to conquer the island nation. But just when all seemed lost, typhoons, which the Japanese called "kamikaze" or "divine wind," swept in and obliterated the invading forces. Imagine the frustration of the Mongols—traveling all that way just to get blown away! The Japanese believed these storms were sent by the gods to protect their homeland. These kamikaze winds became legendary and were later symbolically used during World War II by pilots. So the next time you hear "kamikaze," remember it's not just about daring pilots but also about typhoons that saved a nation. What do you think? Could these storms really have been divine intervention, or just incredibly lucky timing? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
