Hey! :)

The first major battle in the Philippines was the Battle of Leyte Gulf, which took place in October 1944. It was the largest naval battle ever fought. Leyte Gulf saw the first major use of a new Japanese weapon—the kamikaze attack.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Kamikaze attacks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Battle of Leyte Gulf took place near the Philippine islands between combined American and Australian forces against the Imperial Japanese Navy. It is considered as the largest naval battle in history.

It was part of the invasion of Leyte aimed to isolate Japan from the countries occupied in Southeast Asia.

It was the first battle in which Japanese aircraft carried out organized kamikaze attacks. The Japanese Empire suffered heavy losses and were unable to stop the invasion.

I hope this answer helps you.
