Papua New Guinea is known for the Kokoda Trail, where a particularly bloody battle was fought during World War II. the Australians and the US defence forces joined strength to repel the Japanese who were attempting to reach the southern coast of Papua New Guinea from the north, across the treacherous Owen Stanley Range, via the Kokoda trail. Thanks to the Papua New Guinean natives assisting the Australians and the US troops, the Japanese were turned back, having to retreat to bases at Buna, Gona and Sanananda, where they were eventually defeated.
