Question

Iwo Jima was an important victory for U.S. troops in the Pacific because it:

made it easier for the U.S. to bomb Japan.
convinced Germany that defeat was inevitable.
convinced the Japanese to surrender.
had a lot of important natural resources.

Answer 1

(A) made it easier for the U.S. to bomb Japan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Iwo Jima was a strategic point since it was close to Japan. The US had 2 options, either to go into a full scale invasion or bomb it using the new atomic bombs they had developed. Safe to say, Hiroshima didn't end up in tact.
