The island of Okinawa was invaded during World War II primarily because of its strategic location. Capturing Okinawa would provide the Allies with a base for launching an invasion of mainland Japan, as well as a staging area for air operations. The battle, fought from April to June 1945, was one of the largest and bloodiest in the Pacific, with significant casualties on both sides, reflecting its importance in the overall Allied campaign against Japan.
