Mongol invasions of Japan
The Mongol invasions of Japan crossed this sea and ravaged the Tsushima Islands before the "kamikaze" – translated as "divine wind" – a typhoon that is said to have saved Japan from a Mongol invasion fleet led by Kublai Khan in 1281. The 16th century, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was aimed at the conquest of China via the Korean Peninsula from this strait.
