The island of Saipan was crucial to the Allies during World War II primarily because of its strategic location in the Pacific, providing a base for launching further operations against Japan. Capturing Saipan allowed the Allies to establish airfields for heavy bombers, which facilitated attacks on the Japanese home islands. Additionally, controlling Saipan helped secure supply lines and communication routes in the Pacific theater, significantly weakening Japanese defenses and contributing to the eventual Allied victory.
