Iwo Jima and Okinawa
Notes: From these bases Americans
- Men fought to the death and very few prisoners
- Kamikazes active
- Fire bombing of Tokyo after islands taken
- Invasion of Japan estimated to take 1 million American casualties
Summary: Americans wanted these bases so they fought hard. First time we see kamikazes used in battle.
Subjective question: What other countries were using Kamikazes at this time?
