Historical Background: The Mongol Invasions of Japan (1274 and 1281)
\nIn 1274 and 1281, large military forces of the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty attempted to invade Japan.
\nThese invasions are known as the Bun’ei and Koan campaigns.
\nAlthough the Kamakura shogunate successfully repelled both invasions, it was unable to reward the participating samurai with new lands or sufficient compensation.
\nAs a result, dissatisfaction among the warrior class increased.
\nIn 1333, Emperor Go-Daigo led a movement to overthrow the Kamakura shogunate.
\nProminent military leaders, including Ashikaga Takauji and Nitta Yoshisada, joined the campaign against the shogunate.
\nTheir combined efforts ultimately brought about the collapse of the Kamakura shogunate in 1333.<\/p>\n
