A Big Decision:
But this is what made it a real turning point. The death toll at Okinawa made it one of the deadliest battles in World War II. The battle was very important to the Americans, because the calculations of all their losses led them to make a very big decision. Should they use the atomic bomb of Japan and finally conclude the 6 year long World War II? In the end, they decided yes, because of how difficult the Battle of Okinawa was. This is why the Battle of Okinawa was a turning point in history, because the adversity of the battle convinced the US to do what they must and end World War II for the better.
