Presentation transcript:

Getting to California The Fall of the Philippines – Attack hours after Pearl Harbor and fell to the Japanese within three months. General Douglas MacArthur was forced to evacuated but promised “I shall return” Bataan Death March – 78,000 captured American troops were forced to walk 65 miles to a Japanese prison camp with many dying along the way (another rallying cry) The Doolittle Raid – In early 1942 B-25 Bombers launched from aircraft carriers attack Tokyo and then crash land in China – first American attack on Japan (good for moral) Admiral Yamamoto – planner of the attack at Pearl Harbor conceived the plan to attack the American fleet at Midway Battle of the Coral Sea – The first “aircraft carrier” battle of the war where planes do the fighting rather than ships Battle of Midway – the turning point of the war in the Pacific. Due to the breaking of Japanese codes America was able to defend Midway (near Hawaii) and destroyed four Japanese aircraft carriers. Ch 20 Sec 2: Early Battles (Asia)
