Overview

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were victorious in their endeavor to control as much of the western Pacific area and Southeast Asia as possible. They met little effective resistance as they seized islands from Wake to the Philippines. For six months, the Japanese were unstoppable, until the Coral Sea. Although tactically a draw, the battle proved a strategic defeat for Japan.
