The Battle of Iwo Jima, fought from February 19 to March 26, 1945, was a critical battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II. U.S. Marines landed on the volcanic island to capture it from heavily entrenched Japanese forces. The brutal, month-long fight saw fierce resistance, with Japanese defenders using tunnels, bunkers, and caves.
Nearly 7,000 Americans and over 20,000 Japanese died. The iconic flag-raising on Mount Suribachi symbolized U.S. victory. Despite the high cost, Iwo Jima became a vital airbase for U.S. bombers, marking a key step toward Japan’s defeat. The battle remains a testament to courage and sacrifice.
