Not only did December 7th, see the death of Americans, but it marked a new chapter in the war — the United States joined the fight immediately after the Japanese assault. The ensuing conflict between America and Japan led to numerous innovations in tactics and technology, but one strategical development stands out in particular:
Events[ edit ] In the first invasion, the Mongols successfully conquered the Japanese settlements on Tsushima and Iki islands. When they landed on Hakata Bayhowever, they met fierce resistance by the armies of samurai clans and were forced to withdraw to their bases in China.
In the midst of the withdrawal, they were hit by a typhoon. Most of their ships sank and many soldiers drowned. Seven years later, the Mongols returned. Unable to find any suitable landing beaches due to the walls, the fleet stayed afloat for months and depleted their supplies as they searched for an area to land.
After months of being exposed to the elements, the fleet was destroyed by a great typhoon, which the Japanese called "kamikaze" divine wind. The Mongols never attacked Japan again, and more than 70, men were said to have been captured.
As metaphor[ edit ] The name given to the storm, kamikaze, was later used during World War II as nationalist propaganda for suicide attacks by Japanese pilots.
The metaphor meant that the pilots were to be the "Divine Wind" that would again sweep the enemy from the seas.
This use of kamikaze has come to be the common meaning of the word in English.Product Description Life Points to 0.
