World War II The War in Asia & The Pacific

The War in Asia Facts: 1. Douglas MacArthur was the “Supreme Commander of U.S. forces in Asia.”

The War in Asia 2. The Allies operated under an “Island Hopping” strategy.

Using their own language, Navajo “code-talkers” radioed vital messages from island to island. The Japanese never broke the code.

3. Japan’s strategy was to invade the Philippines first, and then take Australia and Hawaii.Japan’s

The War in Asia Battles: 1.Guadalcanal- the first offensive by US land forces in the Pacific Campaign. Japan had taken control of this pacific island in order to cut off U.S. trade and build military bases. US, Australian and New Zealand navies formed an invasion fleet & it took 6 months for the Allies to secure the island.

The War in Asia The lack of supply on both sides meant that combat was especially intense and characterized by extreme desperation. Disease also played a significant role in the ground campaign, as both the Japanese and American forces were weakened by malaria in the insect-infested jungles.

The War in Asia Battles: 2. Philippines- Japan forced about 75,000 American & Filipinos on a 65 mile death march in By Oct. 1944, MacArthur and the Allies returned and regained the Philippines.

The War in Asia 3. The Battle of Midway- U.S. forces surprised a much larger approaching Japanese force at Midway Island. U.S. destroyed much of the Japanese Navy, who were on their way to take over Hawaii.The Battle of Midway-

The War in Asia 4. Iwo Jima and Okinawa- U.S. invasions of these islands brought the Allies closer than ever to Japan. But, the U.S. suffered 100,000’s of casualties due to the fierce Japanese fighting tactics.Iwo Jima and Okinawa- Ex: Kamikaze Pilots- loaded old planes with bombs and then deliberately crashed them into Allied ships.Kamikaze Pilots-

The War in Asia 5. Hiroshima and Nagasaki- President Truman ordered the use of atomic bombs on these two Japanese cities, killing and injuring millions, in order to save American lives.
