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. It was marked by intense fighting and significant casualties on both sides, with the U.S. aiming to capture the strategically important island to facilitate air operations against Japan. The iconic image of U.S. Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi became a symbol of American resolve. Ultimately, the battle resulted in a costly victory for the U.S., with over 26,000 American and approximately 18,000 Japanese soldiers killed.
