This Pacific War Podcast covers the Guadalcanal Campaign Part 1

Why was there a "Guadalcanal Campaign"? What was the importance of Guadalcanal or any of the Solomon Islands during the Pacific War? What was operation Watchtower? Why was Guadalcanal referred to as "an unsinkable aircraft carrier"?

This episode covers the battles of Tulagi and Gavutu-Tanambogo, the capture of Henderson field, the battle of Alligator Creek, also known as the battle of Tenaru and the battle of Bloody ridge.

The US Marines were snuck onto Guadalcanal in an attempt to seize its extremely valuable airfield to gain air supremacy and drive the Japanese out of the Solomon Islands.

The battle of Guadalcanal was the true turning point of the Pacific War and encompassed a full land campaign, aerial campaign and naval campaign as part of the Solomon Islands campaign. Both US Marines and Infantry would end up serving on what the Japanese would nickname "starvation island".
