Guadalcanal Presented by: Andrew Lamb

What Was Guadalcanal Guadalcanal was a Japanese island in which an airfield was placed.

When Did It Happen? The initial battle of Guadalcanal started in August of On February 8, 1943, US troops forced Japanese troops to evacuate Guadalcanal.

Why’d We Fight? The US fought Japanese soldiers on Guadalcanal to preserve the vital lifeline that the US had with Australia. The Japanese army had built a base on Guadalcanal in July 1942; the next month, the Allies had landed on the island and seized it. Yamamoto's troops wanted their garrison back, while the Americans were determined to keep it.

Role in WWII The Guadalcanal campaign was the first substantial and prolonged American offensive in the Pacific war. It consisted of six separate battles at sea. These include: – THE BATTLE OF THE EASTERN SOLOMONS (AUGUST , 1942) –THE BATTLE OF THE SANTA CRUZ ISLANDS (OCTOBER 26, 1942) – NAVAL BATTLE OF GUADALCANAL (NOVEMBER 12- NOVEMBER 15, 1943)

Impact on WWII The US takeover gave the US a fighting chance against the Japanese. The US needed to take over Guadalcanal because Japan had set up military units to keep the US away from their vital lifeline with Australia.

Portrayal/ Justification It was an important victory for the Allies. This is a justified statement because: –It halted Japanese advances –The tide turned on the war in the Pacific –Before the battle for Guadalcanal, the Japanese had the US military defeated as a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
