Very well done script and illustration. Thanks for the rec.

Never heard of this attempted invasion before. Interesting that Japan was protected from the Mongols, at least in part, by the same thing that helped stop the Spanish Armada from successfully invading England in 1588, a storm.

Learned something, guess I’m one of the lucky 10,000 today.

Checked out a few other videos on the channel and subscribed.
