Iwo Jima There was virtually no Allied cover on the exposed beaches. Japanese gunners take a terrible toll among American Marines Colonel Harry Liversedge leads assault on Mount Suribachi

Iwo Jima Mount Suribachi was Iwo Jima’s highest ground Feb. 23, the Marines raise the flag »Flag was too small and couldn’t be seen 2 nd flag raised in its place –Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal took the picture –One of the war’s most famous pictures

Iwo Jima The Stars and Stripes inspired the Marines below Most Japanese fought to the death Island of Iwo Hima was declared secure on March 26, 1945.

Iwo Jima “Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue.” --Admiral Chester W. Nimitz

Okinawa: The Last Battle U.S. wanted Okinawa to help stage an invasion against Japan Japanese used Kamikaze fighters Caused Americans to be at their battle stations 24 hours on end.

Okinawa: The Last Battle Okinawa’s most miserable feature was the mud. May 29, American flag flew over Shuri Castle, the ancient capital of the nation

The End of the Conflict Americans did not expect Okinawa to be last battle –Preliminary to a Japanese invasion Japan had lost her navy and air force –Bombings of Japan were taking place Japanese people at the point of starvation

The Manhattan Project Was the collaboration of American, British and French scientists to develop the atomic bomb Was highly secretive It would remain for Truman to decide if, how, where, and when this fantastic weapon should be used.

Potsdam Conference Truman meets with Churchill and Stalin –Churchill later replaced by Clement Attlee Last of the wartime conferences Most important was the Potsdam Declaration- a surrender ultimatum to Japan.

The End of the Conflict Japanese refused to talk peace August 6, The Enola Gay drops the world’s first atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japanese still refuse to surrender Aug. 8, Russia declares war on Japan. Aug. 9, atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki

The Japanese Surrender August 14, Emperor Hirohito and the Japanese surrender August 15, V-J Day –Hirohito addresses the Japanese for the first time in history and tells them Japan surrendered
