Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Kamikazes and the Japanese army remained as a threat to the Americans after the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

Explanation:

The Battle of Leyte Gulf took place in the Philippines on October 1944, during the Pacific Front of WWII. Despite their great numerical inferiority, the Japanese offered fierce resistance and the battle lasted a long time and weighed, but in the end the American numerical superiority took its toll. The battle was the first time during the war that Japan used so-called kamikaze pilots.

The battle is considered to be the largest that has ever taken place at sea and it became very important for the continued war. After this, the Japanese navy was no longer a real threat to American naval rule, and the continued path to an invasion of Japan itself had been greatly facilitated. Despite this, Americans still had a great respect for the Japanese Army, especially due to the philosophy of Japanese soldiers to fight until death, avoiding surrender.
