Curaçao was a strategic target during World War II primarily due to its oil refineries, which processed crude oil from Venezuela for the Allies. Its location in the Caribbean made it an important naval base for the protection of shipping routes and as a staging point for military operations. Additionally, the island's capture by Axis forces could disrupt Allied supply lines and provide a foothold in the region. The threat of German U-boats in the Caribbean also heightened the importance of securing Curaçao.
