Despite massive mobilization, the war in 1942 is going badly on both fronts. One by one, Allied strongholds in the Pacific collapse under Japanese onslaught. With the Battle of Midway in June 1942, the United States finally begins to hold its own, and by mid 1943 the initiative shifts its way in the southern and central Pacific. Utilizing a leap frogging strategy, U. S. forces begin their slow move toward the Philippines and Japan itself in coordination with Australia and New Zealand.
