Best Answer

This question is confusing. I believe you meant why was the battle of Iwo Jima ended.

The battle ended because the Allied Forces defeated the Japanese during the battles on that Island. Most of the Japanese forces died and some escaped back to Japan or other islands. The Allied Forces were able to take back the two airfields. Some pilots made emergency landings before the airfield could be completed.

The name of Iwo Jima was changed by the Japanese after the war if you were referring to the name change. They did not want the island to retain its negative meaning name of Iwo Jima (I think it mean sulfur island but I am uncertain.)
