Okinawa was the island that the Americans used as a basis for casualities and losses to human life for the planned invasion of the main islands of Japan.
When the island was taken, the projected losses ran to over a million American lives which was deemed too costly for an invasion of mainland Japan so an alternative way to defeat Japan had to be found which resulted in the two atomic bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and then Nagasaki in August 1945. This effectively ended the Second World War with not a single American being killed by invading Japan.
