Mongol invasions of Korea (1259)
On the Mongol Empire map as “Goryeo comes to terms”
1259 — For thirty years and through six invasions, Goryeo’s court has taken refuge on Kanghwa island while the peninsula burns. Now the crown prince travels to the Mongol court. Goryeo retains its king but loses its independence, becoming a vassal and an in-law of the Mongols and soon an unwilling shipyard for their expeditions to Japan.
