The kamikaze, or "divine wind," phenomenon during World War II was primarily driven by Japan's desperate military situation as the war progressed. Faced with mounting losses and dwindling resources, Japanese military leaders resorted to using suicide attacks by pilots who would crash their planes into Allied ships. This tactic was rooted in the cultural values of honor and sacrifice, as pilots viewed their missions as a noble duty to protect their homeland. The kamikaze attacks were emblematic of Japan's willingness to fight to the last man in defense of the nation.
