What is the definition to kamikaze?
Kamikaze is a Japanese term meaning "divine wind"; kamimeans god or divine and kazi, obviously, means wind. It comes from an incident in Japan's history: in the 13th century, typhoons made it impossible for the Mongols to invade Japan. The term was used for the suicide missions undertaken by Japanese pilots in World War II because the hope was that they would have the same effect as the prior "holy winds" had.
The divine wind?
I believe that the 'Divine Wind' - when in reference to World War II - is referring to the kamikaze winds of Japan. Between the winds and water patterns surrounding Japan, the island has been naturally protected from invasion - which is where the term kamikaze or divine wind came into play. During the war, Japanese leaders butchered the meaning and convinced many of their men to become kamikaze pilots - those who drove their plane into the target essentially giving their lives for their country rather than living another day to fight again. (first 77 pages of James Bradley's "Flyboys" discusses some of this)
