The Battle of Iwo Jima
The Battle of Iwo Jima was a very tough fight during World War II where American Marines landed on a small volcanic island called Iwo Jima, which was controlled by the Japanese military, and had to battle their way through underground tunnels and bunkers to take over the island, even though many American soldiers were killed in the process; this battle is famous because of a famous photo of Marines raising a flag on top of Mount Suribachi, a volcano on the island.
