Answer:

The Battle of Okinawa began on April 1, 1945 with the American invasion of the Japanese island of Okinawa and ended on June 30, 1945. From the Japanese perspective, Okinawa was the last line of defense to stand in the way of an Allied invasion of the main Japanese islands. Accordingly, the Allies planned to use Okinawa for air support for the planned invasion of the main islands. The fighting ended with the capture of the island by American troops. More than two-thirds of the Japanese defenders died in the course of the battle. There were also high casualties among the civilian population and on the American side. But it was also the first time that Japanese soldiers surrendered by the thousands.

Identify the factors that led to the development of filipino nationalism?

Ainat [17]

The factors that led to the development of Filipino nationalism was basically centered around one: the Spanish rule which existed on the islands for around three centuries. This started in the 1800's and continues on today, as the islands was often under the control of the Spaniards or the United States. Filipino nationalism includes political, social and economic freedom in the country and this was one of the reasons behind the first nationalist revolution in Asia in 1896.
