In June 1944, American marines and soldiers began the conquest of the Japanese-held Mariana Islands. After a bloody 24-day struggle for the island of Saipan, next the Americans invaded Guam and Tinian in late July. Guam fell after 20 days of battle; Tinian, after eight. B-29 Superfortress bombers soon arrived on the islands to begin the strategic bombardment of Japan.
