Chapter 16 – World War II ( ) Section 2 – Japan’s Pacific Campaign Main Idea: Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and brought the US into WWII Why It Matters Now: WWII established the US as a leading player in international affairs

Japan’s Dreams Japan wanted an empire – First took over Manchuria in China and then heartland of China – Japan needed resources so they went after European colonies

Surprise Attack on Pearl Harbor With threat of Japan to US islands, the US helped China US then cut off oil supply to Japan (July 1941) Japan hoped to surprise Europe and US with quick attacks – Adm. Yamamoto called for attack at Pearl Harbor

Day of Infamy December 7, morning attack of US naval base at Pearl Harbor – US knew this might happen but did nothing to stop it Large casualties in both men and ships President Roosevelt declares it as “a date which will live in infamy.” US declares war on Japan and her allies oosevelt_Infamy.ogg

Japan Victories Japan continues to strike at islands in Southeast Asia – Guam, Wake, Hong Kong all fall – Jan Philippine fight over Bataan Peninsula Japan tells conquered Asians “East Asia for the Asiatics” hoping for support – They are cruel to all new colonies however

Japanese Treatment of Prisoners Consider it dishonorable to surrender – Force Allied prisoners on over 50 mile march (Bataan Death March) 70,000 start… only 54,000 survived

Allies Strike Back April Doolittle bombs Japan showing they can be hit Battle of Coral Sea- major airbase for Allies – Only planes involved in battle Battle of Midway- US airfield near Hawaii – Adm. Nimitz broke code about attack – Hid fleet behind horizon and sent planes out

Allied Offensive Midway turned tide of the Pacific war in favor of Allies Gen. MacArthur developed “Island- hopping” – Take islands less defended & closer to Japan first Guadalcanal (Solomon Islands) is 1 st target Costly battle field for both sides (Island of Death)
