Respuesta :
The Allies captured so few Japanese soldiers when they attacked Iwo Jima, because many of the Japanese soldiers died on the island during the attack. Although the Japanese had heavily fortified the island, the Americans were able to use extensive naval artillery and had complete air supremacy from the beginning of the battle.
Answer:
The Japanese had planned for no surviving prisoner
Explanation:
The Japanese had a strong sense of honor inherited from their ancestors and they saw surrender as a humiliation. Therefore they preferred to die in combat or even to kill themselves before letting the enemy capture them.
They also mistreated the POW they capture because of this, disobeying the 1929 Geneva Conventions on Prisoners of War.
I hope this answer helps you.
