During World War II, the Battle of Okinawa both began and was fought to its bloody conclusion because of the Allied intent to secure an important base close to Japan's home-islands -- and the Japanese intent to deny the island to the Allies. Securing the island achieved the Allied goals, but at a great price in military and civilian deaths.
