How did Americans win the battle of Iwo Jima?

Answer 1

The Battle of Iwo Jima was especially fierce because it was Japan's last "stepping stone", or to be technical, island. It was neccesary for the Allies to conquer the island because the isand that included thousands of Japanese troops encased in a series of heavily armored pillboxes and they would radio back to mainland Japan ahead of time when American bombers roared overhead to wreak havoc among the Japanese. Whatever was on Iwo Jima, the Japanese had had many years, even before the war started, to put it there. Why did the Americans win the Battle of Iwo Jima? The US had much more troops than the Japanese that received more training and were better equipped. Defeat for the Japanese was inevitable.

Answer 2

Simple: U.S.M.C. blood and courage.

Well, that and overwhelming U.S. material support, plus a tactically unsupportable situation on the part of the Japanese. That is, Iwo Jima was a "last stand" proposition for the Japanese going into the fight - there was no hope of reinforcement or relief for the Japanese, who knew they were going to be fighting a superior (in terms of both firepower and manpower) force.

Answer 3

The Japanese did not 'win' the Battle of Iwo Jima. Despite inflicting 3 American casualties for every 2 they received, the Japanese defenders were overcome and the island fell into US hands. The defense of Iwo Jima benefited Japan in that it bought time for defensive preparations on the Home Islands, as well as causing severe damage to three veteran US Marine divisions, which would need to take on and assimilate replacements prior to a final invasion of Japan.

They didn't, they lost it to the invading US Marines.
