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.

Explanation:
President Thomas Jefferson commissioned James Monroe and Robert Livingston to negotiate a deal with France to acquire New Orleans or all or part of Florida. When they went to France to negotiate, Monroe and Livingston found that Napoleon was ready to sell a much wider range of territory to the United States, to finance his European wars. Napoleon was asking $22 million for the whole territory that became the Louisiana Purchase. The US team negotiated the price down to $15 million.
