The Intense Battles That Defined The Pacific Theater In WW2

Japan's aggressive expansion in World War II, began with the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, which drew the United States into the war. Despite initial Japanese victories across Southeast Asia, including the fall of Singapore and the Philippines, the tide began to turn with the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. Crucially, the Battle of the Coral Sea marked a new era of naval warfare fought entirely by aircraft carriers and prevented Japan from isolating Australia. The Battle of Midway, where the US, having broken Japanese codes, decisively defeated the Japanese carrier fleet, crippled Japan's naval power. Finally, the grueling land battles in Papua New Guinea and the Battle of Guadalcanal further demonstrated the failure of Japan's "Oriental Blitzkrieg" and the rising might of the Allied forces.
