Doubt that will work, I suggest we build a time machine, kidnap a knight and a samurai, let them fight to the death and we send the winner home

Even that could be problematic. What if you pick up Musashi as the samurai, and is left with Orlando Bloom as the knight?

The thing with the Mongols was a very interesting post. Questions though, wasn't the attempted Japanese invasion AFTER the height of Mongol military strength? As opposed to when they fought Europe, they were closer to their peak. Also, wasn't the Japanese nearly defeated, and the kamikaze was the result of their defeat? For nomads, wouldn't it be easier for Mongols to walk over to Europe instead of swimming to Japan? Finally, in terms of tactics, the Japanese are better suited for fighting the Mongols no?
