It was a key part of Japan's defense perimeter, and the Allied forces, led by the United States, fought fiercely to seize control of the islands. Palau witnessed some of the most intense battles of the war, with many relics and monuments remaining as reminders of this turbulent past. Today, Palau is a peaceful and welcoming destination for visitors from around the world.
