Correct answer: Peleliu

The Battle of Peleliu was fought from September to November 1944 as American forces sought to capture a strategic airstrip. Believed by commanders to last just a few days, the fierce conflict dragged on for over two months due to Japan's heavily fortified cave systems. Today, the island is a peaceful spot where visitors can still see abandoned tanks, planes, and military relics. Photo: USGov-Military, Post-Work: User:W.wolny, Wikimedia Commons, Public domain.
