∙ 7y agoDuring WW2, Guam along with the surrounding islands were vital in that it allowed the staging area for a invasion of Japan to be closer. Today the US has a strong military presence on the island. This allows US forces to be closer to countries in Asia. This is more important with the removing of bases in countries such as the Philippines and more recently, Okinawa.
