The name given to the storm, ''kamikaze'', was later used during World War II for Suicide Attacks By Japanese Pilots , and this is the common meaning of the word in English .

Recent research has found that causes contributing to the invasion's failure included:

  • Many of the ships were requisitioned river craft with flat bottoms and wobbly masts, and thus, unstable in rough sea.

  • Some of the ships had been poorly made, perhaps as deliberate Sabotage by Chinese Shipbuilder s who resented their new Mongol masters.
