The campaign began with the brutal conquest of Tsushima Island, a key stepping stone between Korea and Japan. From there, the Mongol-Korean fleet advanced to Iki Island and finally Hakata Bay on Kyushu, sparking one of East Asia’s most famous military confrontations. In this episode, we dive into the origins of the invasion, the fall of Tsushima, the battle at Hakata Bay, and the legendary samurai resistance. Next time, we’ll follow the remarkable samurai Takezaki Suenaga through both Mongol invasions, before concluding with the lasting legacy of these events for both Japan and the Mongol Empire.
