The allies ASSISTED the US. The US was the primary combatant in the Pacific Theater of Operations. Britain, Australia, New Zealand, China, etc. were simply extra manpower. Even today, British historians still feel the effects of being "slighted" when dealing with the PTO theater in WW2. Which is one reason, British Broadcasting (and British Sponsors) television rely heavily on the European portion of WW2, when broadcasting WW2 programs on TV. The UK is strongly "Pro-European Theater" when dealing with World War II television programs. There are two primary reasons for the England, Australia, etc. playing "second fiddle" to the US in the PTO in WW2: 1. This was a "personal war" between Japan and the US: Japan attacked the US. 2. Britain was "short legged" (a USN term); meaning their Royal Navy couldn't keep up with the US Navy...because their warships couldn't re-fuel at sea; the Royal Navy relied upon it's strategically placed naval bases for re-fuelling and re-arming. The Royal Navy had prepared to fight WW1 all over again...WW2 was a new war; and Re-Fuelling/Re-Arming at sea was a NEW method. We couldn't allow Britain to slow us down, we had to keep the pressure up on Japan...advance, advance, advance, until victory. The price that was paid...Britain had been slightly insulted, by being left behind (or playing a second rate role in the PTO). Australia really didn't care about Britain's ego, Australians pitched in and fought with all they had; however...Australia/New Zealand, and Canada did come under the British Empire's jurisdiction, to some extent. So what happened to the UK, happended to Australia/New Zealand/Canada as well.

The Kokoda Campaign stopped the Japanese from capturing Port Moresby and using it as a base.

As a result, a reformed Japan soon became an ally of the US, Australia, South Korea and Taiwan.
