| Sumario: | Violence, negotiation and conflict resolution are concepts used in research on these topics in recent decades. They refer to them as part of a process in constant transformation, of such dimension that we can speak of violence as a conflict resolution mechanism (Meneses Reyes, 2020). Therefore, in its historiographic analysis it is necessary to understand contexts as a category of analysis (Montoya and Muñoz, 2018). This paper aims to analyze how the violence represented in self-sacrifice reveals a context that iproduced the resolution of the conflict. The object of study is the special kamikaze force during World War II, which was due to a combination of different factors, including Japan's growing desperation in the face of military defeats and the pressure to maintain its position. The lack of resources and the belief in honor and duty contributed to the acceptance of suicidal tactics as a form of extreme resistance for the salvation of their great empire. |
