World War 2 in the Pacific - Japan's Gamble | Episode 1 | Documentary

On December 7, 1941 Japan gambled all and bombed the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor on Hawaii. In the following months Japanese forces rampaged across Asia, humiliating America and her allies. It looked as though she was unbeatable. But then America fought back. The War in the Pacific launched an entirely new form of naval warfare. By summer 1942 the United States ruled the waves but Japan was still undefeated on land and a powerful force in the air. The future was still far from certain. #documentary #pacificwar #pearlharbor ---- Further videos on hazards and catastrophes : ┕ Battle of Midway: The Decision of the Pacific War | Frontlines Ep. 01 | Documentary ▸ https://youtu.be/5pJU3ahhR-E ┕ Submarines: From Raider to Wolfpack | Documentary | Ep. 01 ▸https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3gI-pt-7K0&t ┕ Submarines: Total War at Sea! | Documentary | Ep. 02 ▸https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hudMqB-HqiQ ---- Interesting links and sources: https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/pacific-strategy-1941-1944 https://www.britannica.com/topic/Pacific-War https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/pacific-major-battles/ https://www.asianstudies.org/publications/eaa/archives/japan-the-u-s-and-the-asian-pacific-war/ ---- This channel offers you full episodes of high quality documentaries.
