Japan War History

During the 19th century, Japan severely limited contact with the rest of the world, although it was not the total isolation sometimes presumed. The government was quite aware of what was happening in the rest of the world. The Japanese also left a window open to Europe, in the form of a small and highly restricted Dutch presence on an artificial island in Nagasaki harbor - a presence that lasted more than 200 years.

Luego de su aplastante victoria en Midway, Estados Unidos había conseguido frenar el peligrosísimo avance japonés que amenazaba con quitarle el dominio de Hawaii, la única base segura con la que contaban. El dominio de la isla de Guadalcanal, clave en la comunicación entre Oceanía y las posesiones norteamericanas en el Pacífico, alcanzó entonces una preponderancia estratégica significativa.
