Answered by maham237 @



The Battle of Iwo Jima played between February 19 and March 26, 1945. It is considered one of the most difficult and bloodiest battles in the Pacific during World War II, and the Iwo Jima island is described as the hardest fortified area in the history of warfare. The strategic value of the island was controversial, and for the Japans it was a battle for the defense of the homeland, where they were ready to fight to the last man.

The correct answer is: It was considered part of the Japanese homeland.
