World War Two : The War in the Pacific Note to teachers: All notes describe how Graeme Stacey uses this material. You are free to adopt, change, or ignore any of these suggestions. Before the start of the lesson, use handout 2.1: Timeline of Origins & Events of the Asia-Pacific War, from the Resource Guide, “Human Rights in the Asia-Pacific ”. A link to this resource is available on the HKVCA website in English here: and in French here: htm htm Discuss information from the “Interwar Period”, and follow events to 1941.

World War Two : The War in the Pacific 22 LESSON OUTLINE & OBJECTIVES In today’s lesson, we will look at the growing war in the Asia-Pacific region. You will learn about: –The goals of an aggressive Japan. –The reason behind attacks like “Pearl Harbor”. –The role Canada played in defending the British colony of Hong Kong. –The fate suffered by our soldiers after being defeated by the Japanese army.

World War Two : The War in the Pacific 33 The Emperor of Japan was in the process of expanding his empire. Japan had control of Korea, Mongolia, and parts of China. Japan continued south, securing resources (rubber, tin, oil). The British were reinforcing their interests in the Pacific, but could not do much because they were occupied with Germany.

World War Two : The War in the Pacific 44 The US had denied Japan access to oil. Oil was available in the Dutch East Indies. To get it & control it, Japan needed to control the seas. The only threat to Japanese naval dominance was the US. Japan planned strategic attacks against the US and Britain. On Dec. 7, 1941, they hit Pearl Harbor, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Wake Island, and Midway Island.

World War Two : The War in the Pacific 55 Pearl Harbor Of the many attacks, Pearl Harbor was the most significant. Japan had studied the use of carrier-based aircraft. They used this strategy to strike at the US Pacific Fleet based in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

World War Two : The War in the Pacific 66 Canada declared war on Japan on Dec. 7, The United States declared war on Japan on Dec. 8, Hitler, honoring a treaty with Japan, declared war on the US. The US, honoring a pledge to Britain, adopts policy of “Hitler First”.

World War Two : The War in the Pacific 7 The US would fight Japan, but the priority was defeating Hitler. The US lost many ships, but they soon recovered and the US President now had the full support of the public. This was a major turning point, bringing the US into the war.

World War Two : The War in the Pacific 88 Hong Kong Hong Kong was the most significant attack for Canada. 1,975 inexperienced Canadian troops were sent to Hong Kong. 50,000 experienced Japanese troops attacked on Dec. 7, The Canadians fought valiantly against overwhelming odds. The Canadians held them off for more than two weeks.

World War Two : The War in the Pacific 99 In one battle, 100 Canadians held off two Japanese regiments, inflicting over 800 casualties on the Japanese. The Japanese commander was forced to apologize when he learned how many defenders caused those casualties. On Christmas Day, 1941, Japan occupied Hong Kong. 555 Canadians died, almost ½ in Japanese prison camps. Sai Wan Bay Cemetery (283 Canadian soldiers are buried there)

World War Two : The War in the Pacific Note to teachers: From the Resource Guide, “Human Rights in the Asia-Pacific ”, students are given Handout 3.1-Canadian Prisoners of War, and asked to read to the subtitle, “Japan Attacks”.
