The Battle of Iwo Jima took place from February 19th to March 26th, 1945 between the United States and Imperial Japan on the island of Iwo Jima. The U.S. launched an assault to capture the three airfields on the island, resulting in intense fighting.

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.
