Guadalcanal. It wasn't the fighting on the island(s) that took six months; although watching the "History Channel(s)" on TV would lead one to believe that. What TV just briefly mentions, are the sea battles surrounding the island(s). This is PROBABLY due to the lack of film footage and re-enactment scenes for the naval battles. Film footage taken during sea battles is often ruined by sea air and sea water (spray). Additionally, some fairly good sea battle footage may have been lost when a warship was SUNK! In a comparatively way, a famous Russian "war artist" who was specifically commissioned to paint "battle scenes" for the up-coming sea engagements during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, perished when riding as a passenger "guest" aboard a Russian battleship; it struck a mine, exploded and sank, taking much of it's crew with it. It is "Cheaper" & "Easier" to hire actors to perform LAND BATTLES than it is for actors to perform SEA BATTLES. As in real life; ships are expensive and big. As for Guadalcanal, the navy which won control of the surrounding sea, would win the island. The sea fights surrounding Guadalcanal were the most ferocious sea battles in naval history; the US Navy lost two Admirals in surface actions there: Callaghan & Scott. And yet...leave it to television to leave the important information out.
