The Battle of Iwo Jima
Iwo Jima is a small volcanic island in the Pacific, best known for the brutal WWII Battle with its namesake. The battle, fought between the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) and the United States Marine Corps (USMC) from February to March 1945. The United States invaded the island to capture its two airfields. After a 36 day fight, The United States claimed the island. The mission to capture Iwo Jima was one of the bloodiest in the history of the Marine Corps. The invasion of Iwo Jima was controversial with top officials arguing whether the capture was Iwo Jima was truly worth the expenditure of human life. Famously, Joe Rosenthal's Associated Press photograph of the raising of the U.S. flag at the summit of 169m (554) Mount Suribachi by six U.S. Marines became a famous image of the battle and the American war effort in the Pacific.
