Navajo Code Talkers of World War II Max Danoff Mr. McDonald

Essential Question? How did the Navajo Code Talkers contribute to the Allied Victory in WWII?

What the Enemy was Doing The people who were breaking the U.S. codes were the Japanese Most of the Japanese code breakers were educated in the U.S. When the Americans would make battle plans they were instantly known to the enemies

The Allied Forces Problems Besides the Japanese code breakers the Ally communications wasn’t doing too well. When the Japanese code breakers were introduced major problems were brought upon them.

An Idea A man named Philip Johnston thought of the idea when he was reading the newspaper about soldiers trying to figure out ways to make an unbreakable code. They began in 1942

Why they were Used Navajo was only a spoken language. The Japanese code breakers didn’t know Navajo because there was less than 30 non-Navajos spoke Navajo.

The Navajo Code Talkers There was originally 29 code talkers. At the end of the war there was around 420 code talkers. Started out in San Diego. Besides the Army, code talkers also joined the Marines

The Importance of the Code Talkers Helped the United States with getting information everywhere a lot quicker. Were key to winning battles with all of the codes that they were transmitting.

The Code There was specific codes for different things including generals, airplanes, dates, and general military vocabulary. Had to be translated the perfect way because one mispronounced word could ruin a battle. There was originally 211 codes but as time went on the amount increased to over 400.

Importance in the Battle of Iwo Jima Had to relay messages about where bunkers were and other coordinates. Informed the airstrike planes when to attack and when not to. Without this information it would have been a lot harder for the United States to advance on the Japanese.

Why I Choose This Topic I am really interested in World War II. I was curious to find out more about how the United States would communicate with each other during battles and in time of need.
