The Pacific Theater

Stepping In Oct. 1940: US cracks codes that Japan is planning to invade European colonies in SE Asia Possible threat to American-controlled Philippines and Guam US sends troops to assist China in resisting Japan Japan takes French Indochina, FDR cuts off oil shipments Japan begins planning surprise attacks on British, Dutch, and the US Led by Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto

“December 7th, 1941…A Date which will live in infamy…” Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii Japanese air raid sunk/damaged 19 ships (inc. 8 battleships) Kills 2300 Americans, 1100 wounded Congress accepts the FDR’s declaration of war Japan also launches attacks on British Hong Kong and American Guam and Wake Island Guam and Wake fall to Japan, as do Philippines and other colonial islands Japanese are brutal to their prisoners Bataan Death March: Japan forces POWs to brutal march of 50+ miles Japanese bury people alive, chop off heads with swords 54000 of 70000 survive

Allies Strike Back April 1942: 16 B-25 bombers attack Tokyo Raises America morale, shakes confidence of Japan Battle of Midway Midway is key American airfield Code-breakers learn that Japan is headed to Midway (led by Yamamoto) Americans allow Japan to begin attacking island American planes swoop in and attack Japanese fleet Destroys 332 Japanese plans, all 4 aircraft carriers, one support ship Yamamoto flees, turning tide of Pacific campaigns

The Allied Offensive General Douglas MacArthur: Commander of Allied Forces in the Pacific Instead of storming each island, Allies should island-hop past Japanese strongholds Seizing islands not well defended but close to Japan Japan is building stronghold on island of Guadalcanal Allies want to strike before airbase is completed (8/7/42) Battle ends in 2/43 Japan loses 24000 of 36000 troops, abandon the island

Japan in Retreat Japanese navy is destroyed in battles of Philippines Kamikaze pilots Iwo Jima Island with large rocky mountain Japanese have hidden tunnels, attack Thousands of men die on shores Americans charge up mountain, use a pipe and flag to raise a flag No one takes a picture, so flag is taken down, a rough flag is put back up and a picture is taken with different men Japanese land wars end on June 21 Japan loses 100,000 troops, Americans lose 12000

Japan Surrenders Invading Japan could cost Allies 500,000 soldiers Truman debates whether or not to use the atomic/A-bomb (Manhattan Project) Bring war to quickest possible end August 6, 1945: US drops A-bomb on Hiroshima 70-80,000 people killed August 9, 1945: US drops A-bomb on Nagasaki 70,000 people killed Radiation VJ Day on 9/2/45
