The Battle of Iwo Jima saw the United States Marine Corps launch an invasion of the island to capture its airfields in order to provide emergency landing sites for B-29 bombers conducting raids on Japan. Over 100,000 Marines faced over 20,000 entrenched Japanese defenders under General Kuribayashi, who employed a network of tunnels and underground defenses. After intense bombardment, the Marines landed on February 19, 1945 and fought a brutal and costly battle to secure the island by March 26, suffering over 26,000 casualties while eliminating almost all Japanese forces. The capture of Iwo Jima provided a strategic staging area that supported the Allied air war and symbolized American resolve.

Battle of Iwo Jima
The Battle of Iwo Jima took place from February 19th to March 26th, 1945 on the island of Iwo Jima. American naval bombardment failed to destroy all Japanese defenses, resulting in high casualties on the first day of the American landing. By cutting the island in half, the Americans gained control of the southern part on the first day. It took over a month for Americans to secure the entire small island due to strong Japanese fortifications and defenses, especially in the north. Of the 22,000 Japanese soldiers, over 21,000 were killed while the US suffered around 6,800 casualties. The battle showed the strength of Japanese island defense and influenced the later decision to use atomic bombs against Japan.

Was Pearl Harbour an Unprecedented Surprise Attack
The document discusses whether the attack on Pearl Harbor was truly a surprise, arguing it was not unprecedented based on several factors:
1) The British had proved torpedoes could be used to attack ships in harbors in their 1940 attack on the Italian navy in Taranto harbor.
2) The US navy had discussed the threat of torpedo attacks in Pearl Harbor in 1941 but did not install recommended defenses.
3) Several attacks by Britain on allies and neutrals in previous decades, including the battles of Copenhagen and Mers-el-Kébir, showed surprise attacks on naval forces were possible.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
