At the end of the 13th century, Chikuzen was the landing point for a [[Mongol invasions of Japan|Mongol invasion force]]. But the main force was destroyed by a [[typhoon]] (later called [[Kamikaze (typhoon)|kamikaze]]).
In April 1336, [[Kikuchi clan|Kikuchi Taketoshi]] attacked the [[Shoni clan]] stronghold at [[Dazaifu, Fukuoka|Dazaifu]]. At the time, the Shoni were allied with [[Ashikaga Takauji]] in his battles against [[Go-Daigo]]. The Shoni were defeated, which led to the suicide of several clan members, including their leader Shoni Sadatsune.<ref name=Sansom2>{{Cite book |last=Sansom |first=George |title=A History of Japan, 1334-1615 |publisher=Stanford University Press |year=1961 |
In the [[Meiji period]], the provinces of Japan were converted into prefectures. Maps of Japan and Chikuzen Province were [[reform]]ed in the 1870s.<ref>Nussbaum, [https://books.google.com/books?id=p2QnPijAEmEC&pg=PA780&dq= "Provinces and prefectures"] at p. 780.</ref> At the same time, the province continued to exist for some purposes. For example, Chikuzen is explicitly recognized in treaties in 1894 (a) between Japan and the [[United States]] and (b) between Japan and the [[United Kingdom]].<ref>US Department of State. (1906).
