Mongol Navy

The Mongol Navy was the naval force assembled by the Mongol Empire during the 13th century to support their military campaigns across the seas, particularly against Japan and Southeast Asia. Though primarily known for their land conquests, the Mongols recognized the importance of naval power for controlling trade routes and projecting influence. They established ships and trained crews, often leveraging their network of alliances and knowledge from other cultures like the Chinese and Koreans. However, their naval efforts were relatively limited and less successful compared to their land campaigns, ultimately contributing to the challenges in their expansion during maritime operations.
