Before the Mongol invasion, China was characterized by a relatively stable and unified rule under the Song Dynasty, with a focus on cultural and technological advancements. After the Mongol invasion, particularly under the Yuan Dynasty established by Kublai Khan, China experienced significant political and social changes, including the integration of Mongol customs and a shift in power dynamics that marginalized many Han Chinese elites. This period also saw increased trade and cultural exchange along the Silk Road, altering China's economic landscape. Overall, the Mongol invasion marked a transition from a predominantly Han Chinese governance to a more diverse, multi-ethnic rule.
Before the Mongol invasion, China was characterized by a series of dynastic rule, particularly the Song Dynasty, which emphasized economic prosperity, cultural achievements, and a bureaucratic system based on Confucian ideals. After the Mongol invasion, China was unified under the Yuan Dynasty, leading to significant changes in governance, including the incorporation of Mongol administrative practices and a greater emphasis on trade across the vast Mongol Empire. This period also saw increased cultural exchange and foreign influence, but it often disrupted traditional Chinese social structures and led to a complex relationship between the Mongols and the Chinese populace.
During the Mongol invasions of Japan in the 13th century, the Japanese received significant help from typhoons, famously known as "kamikaze" or "divine winds," which destroyed much of the Mongol fleet. The first invasion in 1274 was met with a storm that severely damaged the Mongol ships, and the second invasion in 1281 faced a similar fate, leading to substantial losses for the Mongol forces. Additionally, the Japanese samurai demonstrated strong resistance and tactical defense strategies, contributing to their success in repelling the invasions.

Vienna was saved from the Mongol invasion primarily due to the death of the Mongol leader Ögedei Khan in 1241, which led to a withdrawal of Mongol forces as they returned to Mongolia to participate in the succession crisis. Additionally, the fierce resistance put up by the city's defenders and the strategic decisions by local leaders contributed to delaying the Mongol advance. The Mongols later chose to focus on consolidating their power in other regions, ultimately sparing Vienna from destruction.
