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. (1 point) Responses Iran Iran Japan Japan China China Russia

Answer 1

Japan is the correct answer. The Mongols were unable to conquer Japan due to its geographical isolation as it is separated from mainland Asia by the Sea of Japan. The Mongols attempted to invade Japan twice in the 13th century, but both attempts were unsuccessful due to the Japanese navy and a typhoon that destroyed much of the invading force.
