During World War II, in the Pacific Theater, an American victory over the Japanese occurred in February of 1945 upon the island of Iwo Jima. Although the island was not fully secured until late in the next month, American troops occupied the most important points of the island by the end of February -- and this included the raising of the American flag, immortalized in a famous photograph, on the island's highest point atop Mt. Suribachi.
