14. Divine Wind or Divine Intervention?
The Mongolians tried to conquer Japan in the 13th century but were prevented from doing so after a typhoon broke out upon their arrival at the Japanese port of Hakata. They retreated and returned the following year in summer where they were once again greeted by a typhoon at Hakata. Being superstitious, the Mongols decided never to invade the country again. The weird coincidence? Typhoons don’t occur in summer.
