Analysis: The American victory at Tarawa proved costly. Over 1,000 marines, Navy officers and men were killed and 2,300 men were wounded. The Japanese had fought stubbornly, preferring to die rather than surrender. Less than 150 Japanese soldiers and Korean laborers surrendered. The remaining 4,700 died while fighting or committed suicide rather than capture.
