Answer:

Kublai Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan, led two Mongol invasions of Japan in 1274 and 1281.

Both times, bad weather destroyed a significant portion of his fleet, preventing him from conquering Japan.

The storms were so fierce that they were considered divine intervention.

The Japanese called the storms kamikaze, which translates to "divine wind".
