AI notes: The Battle of Guadalcanal began in August 1942 as the first major Allied offensive against Japan in the Pacific. U.S. Marines landed to seize a strategic airfield, leading to six months of intense fighting on land, at sea, and in the air. Despite early setbacks, the Allies ultimately forced a Japanese withdrawal by February 1943, marking a turning point in the Pacific War and beginning the Allied island-hopping campaign.
