Kings and Generals

Battle of Eastern Solomons (2022x140)

: 23, 2022

Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series covering the Pacific War week by week continues with another video. Last week we covered the Raid on Makin Island and looked at the Battle of the Tenaru and some other developments in the Guadalcanal Campaign. The defeat of the Ichiki Detachment at Alligator Creek proved that the Japanese are not invincible; yet the conclusion of the Battle of the Tenaru also harboured the start of a new phase for the Guadalcanal Campaign, a period in which the Marines and the US Navy were going to be challenged by some of the best forces of the Japanese Empire. Join us as we cover the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, as well as new developments in the New Guinea Campaign with the start of the Invasion of Milne Bay.
