The Battle of Iwo Jima also known as Operation Detachment was fought between the Unites States and the Empire of Japan.
The Battle was fought during February and March of 1945 during the Pacific Campaign of World War II. The battle is famous
for the image of the 28th Regiment 5th Marines of the Unites States raising the U.S. flag atop Mount Suribachi during the
battle. Three of the six flag raisers were killed before Iwo Jima was secured. Mount Suribachi was the highest
point of fighting, the fighting was very intense in the first week. The victory at Iwo Jima was another step towards
the Japanese Home Islands.
