Battle of the Hundred in the Hand

The Battle of the Hundred in the Hand was a pivotal 13th-century conflict during the Mongol invasions of Japan. It involved a large Mongol fleet attempting to invade Japan and a combined Japanese fleet defending their coast. The battle is notable for the fierce naval combat and the use of innovative tactics by the Japanese, including the use of smaller, more maneuverable ships and new defenses. Ultimately, a typhoon known as the “Divine Wind” or “Kamikaze” struck the Mongol fleet, causing it to be destroyed or retreat, thwarting the invasion and significantly influencing Japanese history.
