The battle for the island of Iwo Jima took place in February and March of 1945 and was one of the bloodiest battles in the Pacific Theater. Resulting in an American victory over the Japanese defenders, it was soon followed by an invasion of the island of Okinawa (and several smaller islands nearby) in April of 1945. This battle, too, resulted in an Allied victory, yet at great cost to both sides.
