The Pearl Harbor Naval Station in Hawaii was attacked by Japanese aircraft in two waves on December 7, 1941. Over 2,400 Americans were killed or wounded during the surprise attack that lasted just over two hours. Eight U.S. battleships were sunk or severely damaged, including the USS Arizona which lost 1,177 lives when a bomb penetrated its ammunition compartment.

The Battle of Iwo Jima took place on the small volcanic island of Iwo Jima located 660 miles south of Tokyo from February 19th to March 26th, 1945. The island was strategically important to the US as an emergency landing site for B-29 bombers conducting raids on Japan. Over 70,000 US Marines fought over 36 days against 20,000 Japanese soldiers who were ordered to fight to the death. The battle resulted in over 25,000 US casualties and only 216 Japanese soldiers survived. On February 23rd, US forces raised the American flag atop Mount Suribachi, capturing a famous photograph of the event.Alaska Facts and Trivia

Iwo Jima is a Pacific island that was the site of an intense battle between US and Japanese forces in 1945. There were several strategic reasons for the US to invade, including using the island's airfields for emergency landings of B-29 bombers conducting raids on Japan. The Battle of Iwo Jima began on February 19th when Marines landed to seize the island's airfields from Japanese forces. Notable events included Marines raising the American flag atop Mount Suribachi on February 23rd, which was captured in the iconic photograph by Joe Rosenthal. Fighting continued until March 26th when the island was declared secure, at a heavy cost of over 6,800 US troops killed and 19,000 wounded, with anWw2 project

The Battle of Iwo Jima saw the United States Marine Corps launch an invasion of the island to capture its airfields in order to provide emergency landing sites for B-29 bombers conducting raids on Japan. Over 100,000 Marines faced over 20,000 entrenched Japanese defenders under General Kuribayashi, who employed a network of tunnels and underground defenses. After intense bombardment, the Marines landed on February 19, 1945 and fought a brutal and costly battle to secure the island by March 26, suffering over 26,000 casualties while eliminating almost all Japanese forces. The capture of Iwo Jima provided a strategic staging area that supported the Allied air war and symbolized American resolve.Iwo Jima

The Battle of Iwo Jima took place from February 19th to March 26th, 1945 on the island of Iwo Jima. American naval bombardment failed to destroy all Japanese defenses, resulting in high casualties on the first day of the American landing. By cutting the island in half, the Americans gained control of the southern part on the first day. It took over a month for Americans to secure the entire small island due to strong Japanese fortifications and defenses, especially in the north. Of the 22,000 Japanese soldiers, over 21,000 were killed while the US suffered around 6,800 casualties. The battle showed the strength of Japanese island defense and influenced the later decision to use atomic bombs against Japan.Battle of Iwo Jima
