@NoenHarTattMittNavn the mongols and samurai has a small naval skirmish the mongols were no match for the katana against there two sided blades after-wards they were in fact annihilated by a typhoon
@blahbutt23 the Mongols whipped the Samurai in open battles:
a) Because the Samurai were used to fighting with bows, one to one and on horseback (the Mongols, coming from their ships, were on foot and to their advantage were not used to 'honourable' combat)
b) The Mongols had early versions of grenades, which scared the Samurai horses and men into retreat
c) At the time of the Mongol invasions, the art of the katana sword was in its very early stages
@Slypaperclips No disrespect but accually you are incorrect, the mongols were a very good but their weapons were inferior. Their blades were poor quality and one parry or strike with a katana would shatter them. Also the Japanese also had archers and yes the mongols were very skilled on horseback and they would scare their enemies and make them break formation but the Japanese samurai were not afraid and that technique was ineffective. I havent heard of an early grenade but I will research that.
@TheMavking had japan not been an island and the japanese had faced mongol hordes on horseback in the same circumstances other peoples from china all the way to persia and parts of europe did, the samurai wouldnt have been able to stop them. the hun/mongol way of fighting wars where whole tribes with women and children (whole towns basically) form a very rapidly "marching" army and the mongol fighting tactics shooting with their special bow from horseback had no equal back then.
@toomanyfires There's no point in using what if's because it never happened that way. Japan developed the way they did because of the way Japan was and all the events that happened to its people. Same with the Mongols, the Chinese, and everyone else. If Japan was part of the mainland then they would have turned out differently. Whether or not they would have won is a mystery. But fact is Japan didn't fall and Mongols failed. Do the Mongols suck? No. Do Samurai? No. But they won. End of story.
@AARONeclipsePDI if you were able to go back in time and ask them they would tell you it was the gods who saved them. divine intervention.the kami kaze. the taifuns that destroyed the invaders in their ships. be that as it may i stand by what i said. the mongols way of fighting wars had no equal anywhere in the world during that time. no matter where they went to rape and pillage they destroyed their enemies.many different peoples. when the japanese invaded korea they failed.
@toomanyfires Yes they did fail. Because that is what happened. But no "people" is better than other. Samurai is not > Mongol vice versa. The Mongols that invaded all the lands and the defenders against them in each land are not the same as the Japanese who routed the Mongol landing party. Nor where those beach defenders the same as the invasion force by Hideyoshi who unified Japan. It just so happened that the performance is of each faction was at the level that it was at the time.
@toomanyfires But so say that one is overall superior to the other. That's bias and wrong. If the Samurai were really all the inferior to the Mongols, then why could the mongol not establish a beach head., which is really all they needed to maintain their invasion. You can blame it on lack of whatever but they could not take the beach. Having superior traits does not make a superior people because every person within is different. Dualism. But you can't gauge what never happen unless it did.
@AARONeclipsePDI the mongols were handicapped due to having to land in japan by means of ships on a beach. wherever they went on the mainland they destroyed everyone. the japanese only faught amongst themselves on ground they were familiar with. with a population near by supporting them. on familiar ground. that one time they faught another people (the koreans) they failed. they were defeated. the mongols were always victiorious from europe to the middle east and asia.
@aa3gunner the samurai didnt defeat the mongols. sea and weather did. not according to me but according to the japanese. the samurai were good at fighting amongst themselves. that one time when they faught another people (the koreans) they were defeated. they failed. they were driven off. the mongols invaded many different peoples in many different countries from east asia to the middle east and europe, they pillaged and raped and murdered and no one could stop them. they had no equal back then.
@toomanyfires The Samurai drove them off because the Mongols failed to push inland. The Korean sailors were worried about the weather and thus recalled them back to shore. When they returned, a large wall blocked their entrance in the shore. They got stuck there until the Kamikaze arrived and wiped them out. During the Imjin War (1590's), the Japanese lost at sea. However, almost all the battles on land were won by the Japanese. They had superior armor and weapons at the time.
@aa3gunner i dont doubt that the japanese were the superior crafts men. that they buillt superior armor and weapons and that they were brave and skilled warriors. the mongols however had a unique, by far superior way of fighting wars and that never really got a chance be brought into bear against the japanese due to japan being seperated from the asian mainland by the sea. it was that mongol way of fighting wars that made them "unbeatable" against so many, so different foes.
@toomanyfires you didn't read my last post. The mOngols were the most mobile and innovative military force in their time. They were able to take control of China's mighty Sung Empire and take advantage of new weapons such as the grenade, rocket, and cannon. The Mongols were superior archers and marksmen. While Europe moved 7 miles a day, the Mongols moved an average of 70 because of their horsemanship.
The first comment from 5 months ago still stands. Nothing you justify can make it false.
@aa3gunner 7 miles a day? i served in the german military a while back and when we >walked< somewhere, carrying all sorts of weaponry and equipment, we would move waaaaaaaaaaaaay, way, way, way, way, way faster than that. its very hard for me to imagine anyone moving that slowly. where did you get that number?heck i remember reading that a roman soldier wearing amor, weapons and everything else he needed marched 20 miles a day. on foot. which sounds right to me. 7 miles? no way?
@toomanyfires No I'm talking on a regular basis. When knights traveled on horseback from place to place, 7 miles was the average. During campaigns, the Mongols moved 70 miles or more.
@aa3gunner again where did you get that number? and you know that the romans were european soldiers too right? from around 2000 years ago? and that they moved around 20 miles on foot a day "on a regular basis" carrying all their shit around? try walking anywhere my friend. to a town 30 miles away or so. you'll find that it is DIFFICULT to make only 7 miles a day. that is really, really slow. for someone moving on foot. let alone horseback. napoleons army invading russia marched 35 miles a day.
you people talk about samurai and knights like they are video game characters, they are just people, each with different abilities and unique skills, you cant just say samurai are more precise than knights merely because thats the cliche stereotype
@AndrewMDarling I know right? There's actually more similarities than differences between the two. The German schools in particular. A lot of the advanced techniques for the german longsword and fighting in heavy harness, are similar, if not the same in many cases to their Japanese counterparts.
@YetAnthony samurai would win because samurai bases on speed and technique and death to battle is glory. A knight bases on streangth and is slow because of his heavy armor and his sword lacks of speed and combos.
@YetAnthony - don't know about Samurai but the Mongols did some serious damage to the Knight Templar when the Mongol concurred Budapest in the 1200's.
@Charaht the Mongols were typically beaten by the Japanese style of fighting at the time (horse-archer Samurai) but the katana and melee samurai were trained because of the Mongols' love of 1 on 1 combat. The Mongols did lose in Japan if you're wanting a basic answer.

the samurai of feudal japan and the knights of feudal europe are pretty similar, i mean, both owned lands, both were elite warriors, and important nobles, both had their own conduct (code of honor).... anyway, samurai are great, i wish i received samurai training since childhood...
if this samurai culture is real important then embrace it i mean turn back time to old japan listen to old teachers about culture i sound so stupid but i am sure changing japan was a mistake and i think the samurai era should have never ended idk thats my opinion the world just keeps on changing ;(
I'm surprised so many of the katana are facing blade edge-down
