Detailed explanation-1: -In December 1941 Japan attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor, Hawai’i, causing the U.S. to enter World War II. Over two years would pass until the Allies reached their great turning point in the Pacific War: the defeat of the Japanese at Guadalcanal in February 1943.
Detailed explanation-2: -It was the first time that Allied forces were able to make headway in the Pacific. In August 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As a result, approximately 120, 000 civilians died. Japan formally surrendered in September 1945.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the Pacific theater during World War II, the American land war was fought primarily by the Army, though popular memory has focused almost exclusively on the comparatively smaller Marine Corps effort. The Corps made fifteen amphibious combat landings over the course of the entire war.
