briefly describe how the geography and weather of japan played a roles and protecting japan from kublai khan's mongol invasions

Hoochie [10]

During his reign, Kublai Khan decided to invade Japan. There was no really a justified reason for a such a move, as he was aware that his soldiers will come across a strong defensive line, and economically it made no sense, but that us what he had in mind and tried to achieve it.

He gathered a big fleet, and send a big Mongol army to invade Japan. The Japanese samurai were aware of it and were waiting on the coast for the enemy to come. The Mongols would have probably won with ease because of the sheer number of the soldiers, but than mother nature took things in her hands. A strong typhoon emerged just as the Mongols were about to reach the Japanese coast, and it destroyed their boats, and most of the soldiers drowned. The ones that managed to reach the coast were slathered, and Kublai Khan was left embarrassed by his actions.

Why did hundreds of people send canes to Preston Brooks?

nekit [7.7K]

Preston Brooks was a Southern Congressman and a passionate advocate of Southern Rights. Charles Sumner was an ardent abolitionist who delivered an impassioned speech against the authors of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1856. He also ridiculed the speech impediment of one of the authors, Andrew Butler. Preston Brooks got angry because he was the nephew of Andrew Butler. Together with a friend, Brooks approached Sumner as the latter worked at his desk and started caning Sumner. Sumner collapsed in the aisle and Preston Brooks continued caning him until his cane broke. Southerners sent canes to Preston Brooks to replace the one he broke.
