Answer 1

Japan is the correct answer. The Mongols were unable to conquer Japan due to its geographic isolation as it is an island nation, making it difficult for the Mongols to launch a large-scale invasion. Additionally, Japan's typhoon season, known as kamikaze, brought destructive storms that further hindered the Mongols' attempts to invade.
