2 Pacific Empire The Japanese were interested in SE Asia to build an Empire – especially in the rich European colonies. The US was concerned Japan would look to the Philippines and Guam. Pearl Harbor was home to the US naval fleet which threatened Japan.

3 Pacific Empire December 7 will be referred to a date that will live in infamy. After Pearl Harbor, Japan took over the American lands of Guam and Wake Island. Japan then went after the British lands of Hong Kong and Singapore.

4 Striking Back The first attack to revenge Pearl Harbor was the Doolittle Raid. Admiral Chester Nimitz commanded the American troops at the Battle of Midway. General Douglas MacArthur was the commander of the Allied land forces in the Pacific.
