1 WWII War in the Pacific
2 Japan Rising December 7, 1941 at 7:55 a.m. Japan successfully bombed Pearl Harbor. The attack was a complete surprise to the United States. Japan also attacked the airfields in the Philippines on the islands of Wake and Guam.
3 Japan Rising After Pearl Harbor, the Empire of the Rising Sun (Japan) experienced several victories against the Allies. Japan drove U.S. and British troops from: The Philippines Singapore Hong Kong Burma These were among the darkest hours in U.S. military history.
4 The Bataan Death March American and Filipino troops commanded by General MacArthur (leader of Allied forces in the Pacific) were forced to retreat to the Bataan Peninsula because they were unable to stop the Japanese at the shoreline of Luzon, which is where the fighting began. The troops lost most of their supplies during the withdrawal and a Japanese blockade prevented the troops from being resupplied or the landing of backup. The U.S. surrendered on April 9, 1942 after months of fighting. This was the largest surrender since the American Revolution. Japan forced American and Filipino prisoners (many sick & near starvation) to march to a prison camp more than 60 miles away. 76,000 started the march, but only 54,000 reached the camp. When Lt. General Homma took the soldiers as prisoners, he realized that there were many more men than he thought and the only way to get them all to the prison camp was to make them walk the entire way.
5 The Bataan Death March The soldiers were malnourished and in poor health so what should have taken a few days took much longer. The Japanese randomly beat and killed soldiers because they wanted to show that they were superior. They killed men without provocation, or if a guard felt that someone had looked at him the wrong way, he was at liberty to bayonet him to death. Men were sometimes allowed to get water but the water was filled with maggots. Any person who tried to drink water but did not receive permission was shot. When the men were allowed to rest, they were forced down on burning hot pavement, and those who fell behind even a few yards were bayoneted and shot. This torturous journey is now called the Bataan Death March.
6 Bataan These are some newspaper headlines after the fall of the Bataan.

8 Singapore The British felt as though Singapore was an obvious target for the Japanese and they were right. The British command was confident that the Japanese attacks would be useless. They thought the Japanese were poor fighters. The Japanese soldiers were told: "When you encounter the enemy after landing, think of yourself as an avenger coming face to face at last with his father s murderer. Here is a man whose death will lighten your heart." The Japanese fought ferociously. They murdered every patient they found at Alexandra Military Hospital. More than 100,000 Allied soldiers were taken prisoner in Singapore. Many of the soldiers had just arrived and had never fired a gun. The Chinese in Singapore were slaughtered by the Japanese. Japan admitted to killing 5,000 Chinese but the Chinese in Singapore said it was closer to 50,000.
9 Singapore The British surrendered after a week s fighting in Singapore. The fighting in Singapore demonstrated the way the Japanese planned to fight in WWII with speed and savagery. Prime Minister Winston Churchill called it the worst disaster and largest capture in British history.
10 Doolittle Raid After many defeats, American moral was low. In April 1942, 16 American bombers launched from an aircraft carrier and bombed Tokyo. This daring attack was led by James Doolittle. Although it wasn t a major battle, it did lift American spirits. It was the United States first major strike back at the Japanese. Video
11 The Battle of the Coral Sea The Battle of the Coral Sea was fought in the waters southwest of the Solomon Islands and eastward from New Guinea. It was the first of the Pacific War's six fights between opposing aircraft carrier forces. Though the Japanese could rightly claim a tactical victory on "points", it was an operational and strategic defeat for them because they were not able to move on Australia This was the first major check on the great offensive that had begun five months earlier at Pearl Harbor. The Japanese lost a light carrier, a destroyer and some smaller ships. Two aircraft carriers, the Shokaku and Zuikaku, sustained serious damage.
12 The Battle of Midway Japanese Combined Fleet commander Yamamoto moved on to Midway in an effort to draw out and destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet's aircraft carrier striking forces. The aircraft carrier had embarrassed the Japanese Navy in the mid-april Doolittle Raid on Japan's home islands and at the Battle of Coral Sea in early May.
13 The Battle of Midway Yamamoto s plan: to quickly knock down Midway's defenses to follow up with an invasion of the Midway atoll's two small islands and establish a Japanese air base there expected the U.S. carriers to come out and fight, but to arrive too late to save Midway and have insufficient strength to avoid defeat by his Japan s own well-tested carrier air power
14 The Battle of Midway Before the Battle of Midway, the Japanese had a naval superiority over the U.S. The Japanese chose when and where to attack. The Japanese lost irreplaceable 4 aircraft carriers at Midway, while the U.S. lost only 1. Two of their aircraft carriers were not able to be used due to damage sustained at the Battle of Coral Sea. After Midway, the two countries were on level playing field and the United States took the offensive. Yamamoto's intended surprise was thwarted by superior American communications intelligence, which deduced his scheme well before battle was joined.
15 To the disbelief of the Japanese the Americans were able to defeat them and won the Battle of Midway.
16 American Victories The Battle of the Coral Sea halted Japanese advances on Australia. The Battle of Midway destroyed 4 Japanese aircraft carriers & hundreds of planes. Chester Nimitz adopted the idea known as Island Hopping (vocabulary word). American Forces took 6 months to win control of Guadalcanal, one of the Solomon islands. In June 1944, U.S. forces captured Guam and began launching bombing strikes on Japan. The U.S. destroyed most of the Japanese fleet at the Battle of Leyte Gulf (this is known as the biggest naval battle in history).
17 The Battle for Manila (Philippines) The people of Manila suffered a long and brutal Japanese occupation. Manila became a battlefield from February 4 to March 3, 1945 in street-to-street fighting with fanatical Japanese resistance. The battle for Manila was one of the only urban combats for American troops in the Pacific.
18 American prisoners were moved to another camp at Cabanatuan. The 500 POWs who still resided at the Cabanatuan Prison Camp were freed in January 1945 in The Great Raid.
19 Free At Last!
20 U.S. Forces Close In In March 1945, the U.S. seized the island of Iwo Jima, and in June 1945, the island of Okinawa. Thousands of Americans died in these final battles. With much of the Japanese military destroyed, America began to pound Tokyo. The air raids killed many civilians and crippled the Japan economy. In desperation, Japan unleashed their Kamikazes which crashed into our ships; sinking several destroyers.
21 Kamikazes Admiral Ohnishi thought the most effective way to inflict damage on Allied warships was to crash planes into them. Generally, Kamikaze pilots were university students in their twenties. Many Kamikaze pilots believed their death would pay the debt they owed and show the love they had for their families, friends, and emperor. A Kamikaze prepared for his fiery destiny by writing farewell letters and poems to loved ones. Kamikaze pilots were one of the reasons President Harry S. Truman decided to drop the atomic bombs. It was widely believed that Kamikazes would bring Japan deliverance at its darkest hour. On the eve of the Japanese surrender, Takijiro Onishi ended his own life, leaving a note of apology to his dead pilots their sacrifice had been in vain.
22 Kamikazes From the Kamikaze beginner s manual: Transcend life and death. When you eliminate all thoughts about life and death, you will be able to totally disregard your earthly life. This will also enable you to concentrate your attention on eradicating the enemy with unwavering determination, meanwhile reinforcing your excellence in flight skills. Several Kamikaze pilots. The one holding the puppy died the day after this picture on a suicide attack. He was only 17.
23 America was well on its way to defeating the Japanese in the Pacific.
24 The Atomic Bomb In 1939, FDR was warned by Albert Einstein about the possibilities that the Nazis might try to use an atomic bomb. Roosevelt created the top secret Manhattan Project. U.S. warned Japan with the Potsdam Declaration they ignored it. Truman ordered the bombing. August 6, 1945 Hiroshima (the B-29 Enola Gay dropped Little Boy ) 70,000 died August Nagasaki (Fat Man) 40,000 died August 15, Victory in Japan (VJ Day)
25 Dropping the Atomic Bomb This is an audio clip of Col. Paul Tibbets, pilot of the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. This is a video of atomic bomb footage.
26 Japan Surrenders "Should we continue to fight, it would not only result in an ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization." Emperor Hirohito
