"Island Hopping"
The US dropped an atomic bomb on Japan
there wasnt really a conflict that caused Japan to attack the US. the US was not at war with Japan until after Pearl Harbor, in which the Japanese were the aggressors.
Japan bombed us at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7th 1941 and we were at war with them until they surrendered on Aug. 15 1945.
Protect Japan
I'm not siding with anyone here. But it was pretty messed up that Japan bombed us. Then again you have to think why did they bomb us? Well because we banned exports to Japan which is needed to survive, Japan practically didn't have any resources. The fact that we banned exports to Japan is a conflict (it is for Japan). Not only was that a conflict but, the attack by Japan was cruel and made the conflict worser. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a huge conflict for America. The conflict was still going on while they were having war, for both Japan and America. So they have their shares of conflicts. However, they made two compromise. They decided to go to war and settle it. And the second compromise was when Japan surrendered and signed the peace treaty.
Iwo Jima was important to the Allies' Island-Hopping strategy with it's airfields and proximity to Japan .
are you in Mrs. Hawe's class ?
Japan's military command was in one place for the strategy to bomb cities until Japan surrender. The US understood that Japan would hold but 2 were sufficient.
Because Japan only had enough oil in their reserves to support a 2 year war.
The United States ended World War II in the Pacific by employing a strategy of island hopping, capturing strategically important islands and moving closer to Japan. The turning point came with the victories in battles such as Midway and Guadalcanal. Ultimately, the war concluded with the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, which led to Japan's unconditional surrender on September 2, 1945. This combination of military strategy and the unprecedented use of nuclear weapons forced Japan to capitulate, effectively bringing an end to the conflict in the Pacific.
US-Ukraine Conflict
To prevent the US (by eliminating the Battleship Fleet based at Pearl Harbor) from interferring with their plans of conquest.
