Kamikaze was Japan's last weapon in World War II. Near the end of World War II, when the American Navy began landing to invade the Philippine Islands, Japanese pilots resorted to crashing their planes into American ships in order to sink them. These operations were known as Kamikaze, which means "holy wind" and refers to an air hurricane that the ancient Japanese believed sank the ships of the Mongol invaders and protected Japan from their invasion. Japan used this method systematically, as it trained and recruited pilots to carry out these specific missions. It also built planes, submarines, and boats piloted by volunteers to crash into American ships. It was preparing to use this method more intensively than what happened in World War II. Kamikaze plane attacks terrified the American Navy because it was unable to confront them and suffered great losses in lives and weapons. These attacks go back to an ancient Japanese culture known as Bushido, meaning the way of the warrior, which is the belief that the samurai warrior was raised on in the Middle Ages in Japan, which obliged him to fight honorably to the death and that death for his master or for the Emperor of Japan would enable His spirit of immortality and return to life again As a result of the militarization of Japanese society in the post-World War I period, this ancient culture was revived and replanted in the soldiers of the Japanese army, which turned it into the most formidable army in World War II Prepared and presented by: Ibrahim Al-Jarhi Other videos you will like World War II • World War II Cold War • Cold War Historical figures • Historical figures Countdown • Countdown Short story • Short story Al-Fula • Al-Fula Facebook page / nestproductions Website www.nest-productions.com
