The worst battle in America, the Battle of Iwo Jima, will always be held in Washington.

The Battle of Iwo Jima was the only battle in the Pacific War in which the casualties of American troops exceeded those of Japanese troops. In this battle, the most famous is a photo taken by joe rosenthal, an army photographer of the Associated Press, in which six American soldiers planted the national flag on the top of Iwo Jima. The Battle of Iwo Jima was the most tragic battle of the US military, and there is a statue in Washington Square to commemorate it.

The worst battle in America, the battle of Iwo Jima.

In Washington Square, the capital of the United States, there is a giant statue. Six marines are trying to plant an American flag on the top of the mountain. This statue is based on a World War II photo taken by Associated Press reporter joe rosenthal, which was the cruelest battle of Iwo Jima in the Pacific War. In this battle, although the United States suffered heavy losses, its heart was unshakable.

In the battle of Iwo Jima, of the 23,000 Japanese troops who stuck to Iwo Jima, only 1083 survived, while the American troops were killed 68 12 and injured 19 189. This was the fiercest battle in the Pacific during World War II. Although Iwo Jima is only a tiny place, its geographical position is superior. It is located between Tokyo, Japan and Saipan newly occupied by the US military. The distance between the two places is about 1200 km. After the US military occupied Saipan, it has been attacking Tokyo based on Saipan.

However, due to the alert function of Iwo Jima, the US air strikes have had little effect. Japanese fighters stationed in Iwo Jima took off from time to time to intercept and disperse the American fleet, which triggered the Battle of Iwo Jima. Only by winning Iwo Jima can the US military enter Japan, and for the safety of Tokyo, the Japanese army must defend Iwo Jima and instantly make this smokeless volcanic island a battlefield between Japan and the United States.
