1268 - ◆The Mongol empire sends an envoy to Japan to demand surrender, but Japan refuses.
(Koki 1928)(timeline)
※
The description below is a common view on this incident though I believe that it is a fake story. Though envoys were sent to Japan several times, this date is a symbolic day in the Japanese history.
Mongol envoys arrive in Japan with a message from the Mongol ruler, Kublai Khan. In the past Japan was considered too small and out-of-the-way to be worried about on the Asian mainland. No one is sure why Kublai Khan decides to bother with Japan now. Perhaps it is because the Mongols are currently fighting the Song Dynasty in southern China, and the Japanese have good trade relations with the Song and might offer military help. In any case, the message politely suggests that friendly relations be established. It is also subtly insulting and it hints that war will occur if the Japanese refuse.
The Japanese at this time have two centres of power. The apparent ruler is the emperor, living in Kyoto. The real ruler is the military Regent Bakufu in Kamakura. The emperor is terrified. He has heard tales from the Song about Mongol atrocities and their military skill. But the Bakufu is insulted and defiant. The envoys are sent home without a reply, snubbing Kublai Khan’s offer. Both countries prepare for war.

April 20, 1889 (February 1, 1268 in the Iranian calendar)
◆(birth) Adolf Hitler, German Nazi dictator. (timeline)
Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 at around 6:30 pm at the Gasthof zum Pommer, an inn in Ranshofen, a village annexed in 1938 to the municipality of Braunau am Inn, Upper Austria. The day was January 31, 1268 in the Iranian calendar. But Hitler was born after the sunset and the day was February 1, 1268 as the Iranian calendar is a lunar calendar and the new calendar day begins at sunset.
On February 1, 1268, the Mongol empire sent an envoy to Japan to demand surrender, but Japan refused. World War II included parodies of the Mongol invasion of Japan. In addition, the man who started World War II was born on February 1, 1268 in the Iranian calendar. All in all, it turns out that Japan had planned a large-scale war as early as in 1889.
Furthermore, the fact in which the Japanese Communist Party also shares the same date convinces us of the Japanese conspiracy. The daily organ of the Japanese Communist Party started on February 1, 1928 (Koki 1268 in the Japanese traditional calendar). It is obvious that the party commemorated the Mongol invasion of Japan.
Thus, it is obvious that both fascism and communism were the product of Japan's conspiracy. And probably all the ideologies and political philosophies are fake theories.
Finally, the fact in which the Iranian calendar was used in the date pun indicates that HItler had something to do with Iran and Mongolia in addition to Japan.

Furthermore, April 20 is the death anniversary of Hojo Tokimune, who was the regent to the shogun (military dictator of Japan).
The Mongols had sent a threatening letter and emissaries to Japan on February 1, 1268. After discussing the letter, Hojo Tokimune decided to have the emissaries sent back with no answer. Later the Mongols gathered up troops for invasion twice, but he led Japanese samurai warriors in defending the Japanese islands. Due to typhoons, he fought off the Mongols. He has been respected by many Japanese for the success.
