The battle of Iwo Jima was basically Japan's last stand against the United States.The US had bombers that could hit Japan,however,they were being shot down by Japanese interceptors on Iwo Jima.The US sent in the Marines and Army Seabees(Army engineers who were working with the Marines) under the command of Admiral Chester Nimitz.Japan's defenses were commanded by General Tadamachi Kuribayashi,who killed himself at the end of Iwo Jima after an unsuccessful "banzai" charge to attempt to take the 3 airfields back from American hands at the end of the battle.A very famous picture of Marines raising the flag on Mt. Suribachi was taken during Iwo Jima.The US did not wipe out the remainder of the garrison stationed there,what remained killed themselves.
