Answer 2

Answer:

Japan began using kamikaze attacks in World War II.

Explanation:

The term kamikaze was used to refer to the attacks carried out by pilots of a special unit belonging to the Imperial Japanese Navy against vessels of the Allied fleet at the end of World War II, beginning in 1944. These attacks were intended to stop the advance of the allies in the Pacific Ocean and prevent them from reaching the Japanese coasts. To this end, airplanes loaded with bombs of 250 kilograms deliberately struck against their targets with the desire to sink or damage them so badly that they could not return to battle.
