Thesis
During World War II the Navajo code was used as a way of communicating, by the Military, on the battlefield. This code was transmitted by an exclusive group called the Navajo code talkers. The code talkers were a key part of the communication system that helped the U.S. Marines win in the Pacific theatre.
“Were it not for the Navajos, the Marines would have never have taken Iwo Jima”
