Immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Japan launched an assault on the U.S. territory of the Philippines. The Japanese aimed to quickly incapacitate American military presence in the Pacific, and the Philippines were strategically important due to their location. The attack on the Philippines marked the beginning of a brutal campaign that would lead to the fall of Manila and significant loss of life.
