1237-1241, Mongols overran southern and
central Russia, invaded Hungary and Poland (destroying their armies), capturing
and destroying Bagdad and much of the middle east
- Europe was terrified at their
invasions which seemed to be unstoppable
Kublai Khan, 1264-1294, the
Mongols ruled all over Asia, from China to Poland - during the years 1275-1292, an Italian, Marco Polo,
worked for Kublai Khan and brought back word to Europe
of what the Far East was like - in
1282, the Mongols tried to invade Japan, only to have their fleet destroyed by a “divine
wind”, a ‘kamikaze’ (an unexpected typhoon)
