During World War II, why did Japan strongly and passionately defend Iwo Jima?

Answers

Iwo Jima was fiercely defended by Imperial Japan since it was considered that if Iwo Jima felt, Japan would do as well.

The order from the high commands of Japan was to defend the homeland at all costs. No one was expected to surrender. The island was a key point where Tadamichi Kuribayashi was the general in charge of resisting. He gave the order to die rather than surrender as the Samurai traditions taught.

The Japanese were practically erased from that island when a bigger American army entered. The resistance was prevented as many bunkers in the small island continued to hide soldiers.

Although this battle was highly criticized, Japan knew that they needed to gain time for organizing the regrouping of inland Japan and the ultimate defense of the nation. The raising of the American flag would strongly dishonor and morally discourage the Japanese. The raising of the flag constituted a strong message to the world as a sign of US victory.

During World War II, japan strongly and passionately defends Iwo Jima because it was considered to be part of Japanese homelands.

In February 1945, the battle of Iwo Jima took place in Japan. It was a battle between Japan and the United States. This battle was considered as the major battle during World War II.

Further Explanation

The followings are some the of accounts of the battle of Iwo Jima

  • American lost about 6,600 soldiers in the battle of Iwo Jima
  • Also, about 18,000 Japanese soldiers lost their lives in the battle
  • During the battle, the United States government awarded the Medal of Honor to 26 soldiers for their effort
  • The Japanese soldiers that died is more than the US, although the United States deployed more soldiers than japan

The United States Wanted the island because is a strategic location that the US could use to park their fighter planes and bombers as the attack progressed.

The US took interest in Iwo Jima after its military personnel first landed on the island.

Iwo Jima is located within 750 miles of the southern part of Tokyo in Japan. The size of the island is 8 square miles.

Also, there is a mountain called Mount Suribachi in Iwo Jima and located close to the southern part of the island.

The island was captured after a very long brutal fight between Japan and the United States. It took the United States 36 days, which was against their initial thought.

The generals thought it would take barely some few days to secure the island.

Why do you think people feel so strongly about slavery? Answer in a full paragraph?

Answers

American slavery has always been a highly debated topic throughout the years. Often, people associate slavery with words such as brutal, cruel, inhumane, and horrible. Slaves were forced to forget about freedom and forget about the liberties of life that we American’s now take for granted. In the readings “Slaves Appeal”, “Walker’s Appeal”, “Prospectus for the Liberator”, and the movie “Roots” there were many circumstances where slavery was described and realistically documented. 

When people have been enslaved for many generations, and there are many people in the world who've had that experience, and are still having that experience, it's very traumatic.  It does a lot of psychological damage that can take many generations to reverse, and if that process is botched it can just linger on indefinitely.  Naturally, people have very strong feelings about something that influences their lives so intimately and negatively.

For example, a form of slavery, feudalism, was rampant throughout Europe.  People who'd been entrapped in it for centuries fled to America.  There they found a civilization where the former 'nobles' (slave masters) in the Old World considered them equal human beings!  And all they had to do to achieve that equality was point their fingers at Black Americans and call them the inferiors (slaves).

Unfortunately, this was not a legitimate form of emancipation and it did not heal any of their problems.  It's all been festering now for two, three hundred years and they haven't made any progress at all on what ails them.  The only hope they've found has been the progress Black people have made in emancipating themselves in a legitimate way.  Many whites have found some degree of recovery.  You'll find them identifying themselves as 'anti-racist. ' That's generally coincidental with people into 'personal growth.'  

Their less fortunate, disadvantaged white brethren who still ascribe to the delusional form of so-called equality and freedom are rarely ever the achievers of any kind of personal growth.  So, you see, the post traumatic stress disorders from their unfortunate experience in Europe have remained intact to this very day, and impact their lives strongly, hence their strong feelings about slavery, that, if they're still in a state of denial about these oppression issues, have become quite twisted.
