Why did the battle of okinawa occur?
The US was getting closer & closer to Japan in regaining control of the Japanese advances in the Pacific. Okinawa was the final action of the US before the decision was made to use the atomic bomb. This was because an invasion of the Japanese mainland would have been hugely expensive in American soldiers lives.
Why did Iwo Jima happen?
Just how far do you want to be taken back? Perhaps Guadalcanal, when we realized island-hopping was our only hope for beating the Japanese, or even further? Maybe Midway, when the United States managed to deal its first major blow against Japanese dominance in the Pacific, leading to the Guadalcanal/Solomon Islands campaign, or maybe to the start of it all? Pearl Harbor, where we realized that the threat of Japan was VERY, VERY real and that Japan had to be stopped in any way possible? Take your pick.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor forced the Japanese to surrender only in the sense that in caused the US to enter the war against Japan.
