#history #ww2 #america • -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • On April 1, 1945, Operation Iceberg, the Battle of Okinawa, officially began. This was the U.S. military's last large-scale offensive in the Pacific theater. Okinawa was not only Japan's southern gateway but also a crucial stepping stone for the U.S. assault on the Japanese mainland. For the Japanese forces, it was the front line of decisive homeland defense ; for the U.S. forces, it was a critical step toward bringing the war to a swift conclusion. • ------------------------------------------------------- • Image source: Wikimedia Commons • https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ma...
