What were the key turning points of World War 2 for the allies in the PTO?
The battles in Coral Sea, Wake, and Midway are considered the turning point in the Pacific Theater. I agree with the previous submission. However those three events were sea battles. In addition, the taking of Guadalcanal provided a logistical base and landing strip to reinforce and supply the Allies. The taking of Iwo Jima provided a landing strip within striking distance of Japan. In fact, by the summer of 1945, the attacks launched from Iwo Jima had destroyed a majority of Japan's military production capabilities.

What were the key battle sites of the Pacific during World War 2?
The Battle of MidwayThe Japanese lost 4 aircraft carriers, the HIRYU, SORYU, KAGA, and AKAGI, along with their most experienced pilots who had fought in the early campaigns of the war and throughout China and Russia in Japan's previous wars. These losses proved devastating to the Japanese campaign in the Pacific, forcing the Japanese navy to take a more defensive stance in the Pacific War. The Americans, on the other hand, had lost only one carrier, the YORKTOWN, which had been previously damaged in the Battle of the Coral Sea. The Battle of Midway was the first major American naval victory of WWII.

What did the US Marine Corps do in World War 2?
ANSWERThe United States Marines were assigned to take the islands in the Pacific away from the Japanese. The Japanese had expanded their empire southward of their home islands and had taken over many of the South Pacific Island groups. It was the marines that stormed each beach of each island and took the islands away from the Japanese. Some of the more famous battles took place at Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and many others. The significance of the taking of Iwo Jima cannot be overstated. There was an airfield on the island and the US Air force needed a halfway point from their airfields to Japan and Iwo Jima was perfect. The taking of Iwo Jima by the Marines was a key strategy to defeating the Japanese by taking the war to their homeland.the marines in ww2 helped as far as infantry and cover artillery. they took Iwo Jima and fought in the Philippine's, they also fought in name and in Korea. the marines were quite possibly the best military branch and still are. they continue their fight in Iraq and in Afghanistan. the marines are still doing their job on the front lines, their stories are sad and true. they've lost countless brothers in arms. Jake roseThe Marine Corps also brought Navajo Code talkers to the islands, since there native language was so hard to learn if you were a Navajo, the Navajo language was the code in WWII that the Marines brought to the battle field.
