During World War II, protecting military communication was an essential part of the nation’s war strategy. Because most codes were cracked by enemies during  previous wars, efforts to train Navajo speaking soldiers as “code talkers” proved essential for successful missions in the Pacific during World War II. Despite the prejudice and bias, the code, developed using Navajo words, which are unwritten, tonal, and do not use linguist elements from any other languages, proved to be unbreakable by enemy adversaries and essential for taking battles in the Pacific during World War II even with the wrongful eradication attempt.

"In the early part of World War II, the enemy was breaking every military code that was being used in the Pacific. This created a huge problem for strategizing against the enemies. Eventually, a suggestion was made in early 1942 to use Navajo language as a code."
