Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Kamikazes, and the Japanese army.

Explanation:

The Battle of Leyte Gulf, which took place between October 23 and 26, 1944, was a maritime battle between the United States and Japan in the framework of World War II. During this battle the navies of both nations faced each other, triumphing the American navy, which practically destroyed its adversary and neutralized the dominance of Japan in the waters of the Pacific.

Now, despite the fact that the Japanese navy no longer had effective possibilities of causing problems for the Americans, the truth is that even so an invasion by land of Japan was seen as a complicated undertaking. This because the Japanese had begun to use their famous kamikazes, pilots who crashed their planes against their targets causing high damage, as well as due to the ferocity of their combatants in the army, who fought until destruction, either their own or the enemy's, avoiding surrender.
