The USMC (United States Marine Corps) and the Japanese. I'm not quite sure whatJapanese force it was but I think it was the Japanese Imperial Army.
Iwo Jima had several airfields. Allied war planners decided that they wanted these airfields for several reasons:
As it turned out, none of these reasons were sound. The Japanese did not have sufficient resources to reliably intercept B-29s using fighters based at Iwo Jima. Iwo Jima was only use a handful of times (less than a dozen) as an emergency stop for the B-29s. And US escort fighters were not needed by the B-29s, since the Japanese airforce had been effectively eliminated by the time the US captured Iwo Jima.
Strategically, Iwo Jima was a battle that needn't be fought. The airfields were of no worth, Iwo Jima was unsuitable as a base for the planned invasion of Japan, and Japanese forces based at Iwo Jima were of no threat to the Allied forces (either the B-29s or to the planned invasion force).
During World War II, the island of Iwo Jima, located south of Japan some 750 miles, was the site of a violent battle between American and Japanese soldiers. One of the last of the amphibious invasions engaged by American forces during the war, it resulted in a bloody victory for the United States with one particular photograph (of a flag being raised during battle by American soldiers) becoming quite famous soon after the island-battle concluded.
America and Japanese military forces fought on the island of Imo Jima. It was a fierce fight as the Emperor ordered the Japanese troops to fight to the death. There was to be no surrender. This policy caused almost 22,000 Japanese deaths. A handful of Japanese soldiers finally did surrender. The Emperor's policy was based on the fact that this was the first confrontation on pre-war Japanese territory.
