Guadalcanal was a campaign not a battle.
By the middle of 1942 the Japanese had taken over many of the Australian dependencies in the SW Pacific. There were fears that, given time, they would take over Fiji and Tonga cutting Australia off from any US help, followed by a possible invasion of Australia.
An airfield was being built on the island of Guadalcanal and it was decided by the allies to take over the island when it was finished.
On August 7 1942 the allies, mostly American, invaded and by February 7 the Japanese had evacuated the island.
