Summary
The United States began a series of attacks on islands in the South Pacific in an attempt to eliminate the Japanese. America only took out the key islands, before moving onto the next set of critical bases. As a result, the battle of Leyte Gulf ensues in the Philippines during 1941 between the United States and Japan, which proved to be the largest naval battle in history. The Japanese lost their remaining fleet of ships and four more carriers during the conflict.
