Summary
December 1941. The world looks on in horror as American ships burn at Pearl Harbour. But Pearl Harbour is only one part of a vast surprise offensive. Its goal: nothing less than the conquest of Southeast Asia. Starting with the Philippines, in this new series we’ll follow the Japanese Blitzkrieg as it sweeps across the Pacific, overrunning empires that had taken centuries to build and changing the fate of Southeast Asia forever. #Worldwar2 #pacificwar #history #militaryhistory #historynerd Hosted on Acast.
