These battles were very important to the U.S victory over Japan. BOth Iwo Jima and Okinawa where islands that held massive naval bases and airbases and severd as massive supply links to other Japanese islands. So when the U.S took them, it cut supply lanes to other unimportant, and important Japanese held islands.
