     History
    Saipan was part of the Japanese Empire from 1914 until 1944. The battle for Saipan was one of the bloodiest of the Pacific War. Naftan Point was heavily defended by Japanese positions prior to the American invasion. The American invasion occured on the other side of the island, so most of the installations were not used and left intact.
