How were the Mongols driven from China?

The Mongols began to lose power in China when the peasants found a one-eyed statue in the mud. This statue had an inscription on it that helped the peasants believe they could rise up and defeat the Mongols. In the 1350's several peasant rebellions weakened the Mongol empire. By 1369 a peasant-warrior named Hong Wu united the peasants, established the Ming dynasty and drove the Mongols out of China in 1369.

How did geography most affect early Japan?

The geography of Japan really benefited the country throughout history. Because Japan is a mountainous island nation, it is geographically ideal because it is surrounded by water. During the 1200s, the Mongols invaded Japan, however, Japan's geographical location saved the country from conquer. The Mongolian fleet faced harsh storms before even reaching Japan, caused by two typhoons. A whole chunk of the Mongolian fleet capsized. The failed Mongolian invasion is the earliest event in which the Japanese used the word "kamikaze," meaning "divine wind" or "spirit wind." It was used to describe the winds from the typhoons which saved Japan from defeat by the barbaric Mongols. Japan being an island nation and only inhabited by Japanese had resulted in a strategic location that helped benefit the country's prosperity and dominance as an East Asian power. The term "kamikaze" is widely known today because the Japanese used it to describe their suicidal aircraft attacks on U.S. warships during World War II, the term originating from the Mongol invasion of Japan as mentioned earlier. However, no spirit wind could save Japan from defeat in WWII.
