Island-Hopping In 1944, the US followed an “island-hopping” campaign in the Pacific. US forces attacked island after island held by the Japanese. This campaign brought American troops closer and closer to Japan. © 2014 Brain Wrinkles

Japan’s Soldiers Fighting Japan was difficult because the Japanese were fierce warriors. The Japanese soldiers never gave up and were willing to sacrifice themselves for their country. Japanese kamikaze pilots crashed their planes into US ships on purpose, fully expecting to die. © 2014 Brain Wrinkles

Iwo Jima In February 1945, American forces invaded the island of Iwo Jima. The island was important because it was close to Japan and it was a good place for US planes to land. The Japanese protected the island with traps and underground tunnels. It was a fierce battle, but the US Marines eventually took the island. © 2014 Brain Wrinkles

Atomic Bombs The Allies thought about invading Japan, but were worried that too many soldiers would die. President Harry Truman made a difficult decision to use nuclear weapons against Japan. He warned the Japanese government to surrender, but they refused to give up. © 2014 Brain Wrinkles

Atomic Bombs On August 6, 1945, an American bomber plane dropped the first atomic bomb ever used in war on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. A few days later, the US dropped a second bomb on Nagasaki. Both cities were completely devastated, and the Japanese finally agreed to surrender. © 2014 Brain Wrinkles
