Based on the description of the map and the geographical extent of the Mongolian Empire, the country the Mongols were unable to conquer is Japan. The Mongol invasions of Japan in the late 13th century were unsuccessful, primarily due to geographical barriers (such as the sea) and the strong resistance from the Japanese forces.
A map shows the magnitude of the Mongolian Empire, covering northern Asia from eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan. The map highlights a shaded area labeled Mongolian Empire, stretching from the Caspian Sea in the west to the Sea of Japan in the east. The southern border sits just above the labeled countries of India and China, and extends far into the northern regions. Also labeled on the map are North and South Korea, and Japan. Bodies of water include the Caspian Sea, Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, Pacific Ocean, and the Sea of Japan, or East Sea. Numerous rivers are indicated, many extending from the Mongolian Empire to the arctic regions, and also in northern India and across China. A scale shows 500 miles and 500 kilometers.
The physical geography of the area played a role in the areas the Mongols were able to occupy. Use the map to identify a country the Mongols were unable to conquer.
