Although english is a germanic language, 60% of its vocabulary is rooted in latin.
But anyway someone mentioned the divine wind for japanese preventing a fleet of ships from attacking Japan, this is also true, it was not just used for suicide piltos in WWII. You are thinking of the attempted mongol invasion of Japan, which was probably either Ghengis or Kublai Khan. Anyway there was a storm so their boat invasion of Japan failed.
