This is the 23rd segment in an exhaustive series covering the events of World War II. Much of the Pacific theater of the war has been largely neglected, though the battles fought here were usually a logistics nightmare and nearly all resulted in the loss of thousands in mere days. The Japanese were turned back from Australia in 1942, failing to get a foothold on the mainland. It then fell mainly to the American forces to island-hop, chasing the Japanese back to their own territory. The fighting conducted by the Marine Corps during this period was some of the most brutal of World War II.
