During World War II, the first hostile landing by American soldiers after the war began took place on the island of Guadalcanal in the South Pacific. In response to Japanese movements in the area north of Australia and New Zealand, U.S. Marines were landed on August 7th of 1942 in a bid to wrest the island from its Japanese occupiers. This operation was successfully completed in February of 1943, after months of land, naval, and air battles.
