Twice, Typhoon winds destroyed the Mongol fleet. The main reason why the Mongols failed their intended invasion of the Japanese islands was due to monsoons. The divine winds, or kamikaze, are credited with the Mongol's retreat after losing 75% of its troops. Plus the Mongals main tactic of using cavalry was made impotent when they could not get beyond the beach. Also the Samurai DaikyūLong-Bows were much more effective and shot arrows twice as far as the Mongols Short-Bows more suitable for horse Archery. the first Mongol invasion took place in 1274. More than 600 ships carried a combined Mongol, Chinese, and Korean force of 23,000 troops armed with catapults, combustible missiles, and bows and arrows. In fighting, these soldiers grouped in close cavalry formations against samurai, who were accustomed to one-on-one combat. Local Japanese forces at Hakata, on northern Kyushu, defended against the superior mainland force, which, after one day of fighting was decimated by the onslaught of a sudden typhoon. Khubilai realized that nature, not military incompetence, had been the cause of his forces' failure so, in 1281, he launched a second invasion. Seven weeks of fighting took place in northwestern Kyushu before another typhoon struck, again destroying the Mongol fleet. .

I answer this question with another question. Why is the category US in WW2?
To build a larger empire.
actually... The Mongol invasions of Japan were major military invasions and conquests undertaken by Kublai Khan to take the Japanese islands. Despite their ultimate failure, the invasion attempts are of great historical importance, setting a limit on Mongol expansion, and ranking as nation-defining events in Japanese history. Mongol army was born under the cold and dry weather, doing hunting and war on steppes. Mongol have to build boat and off-shore to make the stand of a campaign so it is the greatest challenge for the invasion. Mongol meets the storm during the sailing and lost such a great army.
