💨 Abstract
Okinawa commemorated the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Okinawa, one of World War II's bloodiest conflicts, which killed a quarter of its population and ended in a 27-year U.S. occupation. Governor Denny Tamaki emphasized the island's role in promoting peace and preserving history amid global tensions. The U.S. military's heavy presence in Okinawa remains contentious due to ongoing conflicts and environmental concerns.
