Question 2 • World History

Which is true about the Battle of Iwo Jima?

Answer
A
Allies were able to capture half of the Japanese soldiers.
B
There were around 30,000 American casualties.
C
There were more American lives lost than in any other WWII battle.
D
The Japanese won the battle.

Explanation

The Battle of Iwo Jima caused about 26,000 American casualties, often rounded to around 30,000 when wounded and killed are counted together. That makes choice A, “There were around 30,000 American casualties,” true. The United States won the battle, and nearly all Japanese defenders were killed rather than captured, so C and D are false.
