How did typhoons save Japan?

In 13th century, the great Mongol warrior Kublai Khan sent his mighty fleet to invade Japan. Fortunately for the Japanese, a fierce typhoon developed off the coast, and completely wiped out the invading ships, killing more than 20,000 troops. During the second attempt by Kublai Khan, a vast fleet of 4400 ships and more than 100,000 Chinese and Mongol soldiers were destroyed by another typhoon. These two storms that saved Japan added a new phrase in the Japanese language, 'Kami Kaze', meaning 'divine world'.
