The History of Iwo Jima

Introduction Iwo Jima is one of many islands among Prince Edward Islands that make up Ogakihara's island chain. The Ogasawara Islands is about 750 miles south of Tokyo. Compared with most other Pacific islands, Iwo Jima is relatively small, actually only 4.5 miles in length and 2.5 miles in width. In the geographical layout of Iwo Jima, there are northern dormant volcano called sliver beach and flat south side.

In the Ogasawara archipelago, there are north to south, Gigi, Ischi, Ha ha, Northern Ismaa, Iwo Jima, and Minami Iwooshima. Ogasawara also manages two small isolated islands. South Tricima at the eastern end of Japan and 1,850 km (1,150 mile), the furthest island in the center of Tokyo, and Okinotorishima, the southernmost tip of Japan. Japan's claim to the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) around Okinotorishima has been questioned by China and South Korea as they believe that Okinotorishima is an absent rock without an exclusive economic zone. There are no residents on the sulfur chain and its surrounding islands, but there are SDF personnel. The local population can only be found in Tachibana and Hahajima. On these islands there are Ogakihara prefecture and Tokyo Ogaki Harimura.

First of all, Iwo Jima has important strategic significance for Japan and the United States. This 5 square mile of Iwo Jima is regarded as a lawn of Japan and is only 650 miles away from Tokyo, the capital of Japan, so it is essential for Japan. In the history of Japan in 5000 years, foreign troops did not enter the land of Japan (Japan). When the United States invades Iwo Jima, its importance is certainly shocking. "For Japanese leaders, capturing Iwo Jima means fighting in Okinawa, Japan's own invasion is not so far." (Battle)

A Japanese naval officer who arrived at the island before the US invasion mistakenly called it Iwo Jima. In this way, the reading of "Iwo Jima" has become mainstream, and it is used by the US Army that arrived during the Second World War. Residents of Motoshima protested this situation and the Geographical Survey Institute of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport discussed this issue and return the official Japanese pronunciation of the name of the island to the prewar IO-TO on June 18, 2007 We officially announced that. . The movie 'Iron Island' s father and a letter banner ', which is drawing attention, caused an action to undo pronunciation. This change does not affect the notation of the name in Kanji "Iwo Jima", but it only affects pronunciation or notation of Hiragana, Katakana, and Romaji.
