Battle of Kōan
The , also known as the Second Battle of Hakata Bay, was the second attempt by the Mongols-founded Yuan Dynasty to invade Japan after their failed attempt seven years earlier at the Battle of Bun'ei. In the summer of 1281, the Yuan invaded with two large armies. the Japanese defenders were aided by a major storm which sunk a sizable portion of the Mongolian fleets. The invaders who made it ashore were repulsed shortly after landing. The Japanese called the fortuitous storm ''kamikaze'' ("divine wind"), a name that was used in the Second World War to reference pilots that engaged in aerial suicide attacks.
==Background==
After the failed first invasion by the Yuan navy, the Japanese made many defense preparations, constructing numerous fortifications along the coast. Armies of samurai trained in swordsmanship were kept in a state of readiness to repel a further attack.
In early 1280 Kublai Khan planned another invasion of Japan and ordered his shipbuilders to rebuild the whole fleet within a year. In the short time available many of the ships were poorly made; many were flat-bottomed river boats requisitioned by the Emperor.
