The Battle of Iwo Jima, fought from February 19 to March 26, 1945, was a pivotal conflict during World War II between the United States and Japan. The U.S. aimed to capture the strategically important island to secure a base for air operations against Japan. The battle was marked by fierce fighting and significant casualties, with the iconic photograph of Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi symbolizing the hard-fought victory. Ultimately, the U.S. secured Iwo Jima, but at a high cost, with thousands of casualties on both sides.
