Progress in the War         

Home In April of 1945, Germany surrendered the war, so Japan was really getting desperate with their attacks, mainly because their only allies in the war (Germany and Italy) had already surrendered. An example of their desperation is that they trained regular citizens to fly fighter planes so they could commit suicide and crash into targets. These suicidal individuals came to be known as “Kamikazes” and were large threats to the U.S. Navy.
