Decision Point Questions:
The following six “Decision Point Questions” (DPQs) span the Mongol actions from 1270 through 1286 in a continuum. Case 1, the initial decision to invade, and Case 6, regarding a hypothetical third invasion, are both big strategic questions. The other DPQs chronologically in between are more operational and tactical, providing a strong DPQ mix for consideration.
Case 1 The Mongol decision whether or not to invade Japan (1270)
Case 2 Decision to abandon Hakata Bay (1274)
Case 3 Song capabilities enhance Mongol capacity at sea (1279)
Case 4 Mongol intelligence collection and analysis (1275–1280)
Case 5 Rendezvous of the Mongol fleets in Imari Bay (1281)
Case 6 Possibility of a Third Mongol Invasion (1283–1286)
