"It was one of the invaded by the US during World War 2."
Try: "It was one of the liberated by the US during World War 2."
The island, along with every other liberated island during WWII, was returned to people of that island, after the US defeated the Japanese who had attacked and captured it.
"Invaded," sound like the US attacked a sovereign Nation.
