Why did Japanese refer to the storms as kamikaze?

The correct answer is ‘kamikaze’. The Japanese refer to two typhoons that happened in the 1200s as kamikaze, which translates as ‘divine winds’. These kamikaze saved Japan from a Mongol invasion. Kamikaze underwent a meaning change in WWII to refer to suicide attacks by pilots.


Why did Japan's use of kamikazes illustrate about its desire to win the war?

The theory behind kamikaze attacks were twofold: 1) A manually piloted missile is more accurate than a "dumb fired" missile. 2) A kamikaze attack is a form of psychological warfare, as the knowledge that your enemy has no fear of death can be frightening. Kamikaze attacks are also related to the so called "banzai charge" - where ground troops would launch a massive wave of infantry in an attempt to avoid surrender and maximize odds of victory. Kamikaze attacks were actually not very effective and their effectiveness waned as the war waged on. Losses caused by kamikaze attacks did not significantly weaken Allied forces.
