Pаrt оf the decisiоn-mаking prоcess for dropping the аtomic bombs on Japan came from the estimates of extremely high casualties (on both sides) if the Americans were forced to invade mainland Japan in order to force the Japanese to surrender. [BLANK-1], a conflict late in the war in the spring of 1945, highlighted the likelihood of massive casualties if America was forced to invade Japan. In this conflict, 17,000 Japanese soldiers held off an invasion force of 70,000 American troops for a month on an eight-square mile island. Nearly every Japanese soldier died rather than surrender, and inflicted 30,000 casualties on the Americans before the USA was able to secure this island on the outskirts of mainland Japan.
