The American's part in the Battle of Iwo Jima
Before World War Il, Iwo Jima had no importance to Japan. Once World War Il began, it became an important stepping stone for America to conquer Japan. The United States wasn't planning on being apart of World War Il, until the Japanese provoked them into retaliation. Japan planned to attack the U.S. in retaliation for the oil. The U.S. Refused to give Japan more oil, then Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, which killed thousands of soldiers. The day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt declared war on Japan. Germany and Japan were joined together as the Axis Powers. Germany then declared war on the U.S. and World War Il was started.
