Chronology
Interactive Chronologies with maps are available in the section Changes Navigation
January 1306: The Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan, made a raid on the Asian coast in front of the Strait of Tartary in 1305. The raid evaded the Mongol army, who were attempting to expand their territory in the region.
August 1297: When the Ainu invaded the Amur estuary in mid-1297, the Mongols caught up with them and defeated the invading Ainu near Lake Kizi.
January 1309: In 1308, the Ainu chieftains Waying and Yushannu, leaders of the indigenous Ainu people, communicated through the Nivkh, a neighboring ethnic group, that they desired to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty, which ruled over the southern part of Sakhalin Island at that time.
November 1264: The Mongols attacked the Ainu on Sakhalin Island.
July 1297: When the Ainu invaded the Amur estuary in mid-1297, the Mongols caught up with them and defeated the invading Ainu near Lake Kizi.
January 1298: Perhaps reflecting the diminishing Mongol influence in the area, two Nivkh who had been centurions in the Mongol military defected to the Ainu in 1296, and the next year an Ainu force under the chieftain Waying crossed the strait on Nivkh boats and raided settlements on the continent.
February 1306: The Ainu were recorded to have made one more raid on the continent in 1305, which evaded the Mongol army.
February 1298: End of Ainu raid on the Asian coast.
January 1266: The Ainu returned the next year to attack the Nivkh, killing some of their warriors.
