INTRODUCTION On June 3, 1942, the Japanese bombed a small settlement and a naval outpost at a Dutch port on the Aleutian Islands. Japan's interest in the Alaska territory of the United States resulted from a heavy attack on Tokyo on April 18, 1942. Among them, 16 American B-25 bombers were fired from the aircraft carrier of the Pacific Ocean. Their origin is not known to the Japanese army and they doubt that the plane is from a secret base somewhere in the northern part of the United States. This theory makes sense because the westernmost island of Aleutian Islands is just 650 miles from the Japanese territory.

The battle of the Aleutian Islands was the last battle of the sovereign state against the American country. As part of the Midway fighting movement plan, the Japanese dominated two of the Aleutian Islands (Atu and Kiska). Their hope is that the powerful US Navy withdraws from the center and prevails over Japan. Because their passwords were broken, the US military only banished the Japanese army after the Midway. On May 11, 1943, the US and Canadian army led the seventh infantry troops and landed in Artu, the island began harvesting at the end of May 1943, after a series of battles allies reclaimed Artu. On 15 August 1943, the Allies landed in Kisco for recapture and found only the island abandoned by the Japanese army.

The Midway battle was one of the first big clashes between Japan and the US in the Pacific, but it had a big impact on the future of the conflict. On June 3, 1942, the Japanese began attacking the Aleutian Islands with the aim of transferring their attention to their real target, Midway. But the Americans broke the Japanese navy code and knew exactly what the Empire United fleet was planning. They clashed with the Japanese on June 4 and after a three-day fight they forced the enemy to abandon the attempt to intrude into the Midway. But the most important thing is that the US military seriously hit the Japanese Navy and the Air Force. The Imperial Army lost about 250 aircraft that participated in the battle with the four aircraft carriers. After the Battle of Midway, the immediate threat to America has actually ended.

Go to war. Despite the southern attacks in May, the navy generals were able to reject him after the success of Pearl Harbor. A unit consisting of 11 battleships, including 5 aircraft carriers and 5,000 soldiers, will attack the center. On June 4, another unit (including two aircraft carriers) supported Aleutian's occupation. On June 1, a submarine line was formed in the western part of the Hawaiian islands and there is a report of the US military in the future. Mr. Yamamoto thought that two American airlines in the United States were lost in the battle of the coral sea, not one, on May 8, and the remaining two companies are still in the South Pacific. He did not know that Brigadier Chester W. Nimitz who released Kimmel was reading his news. The three American airlines were recalled, the damaged Yorktown was repaired soon, and by June 1 all had navigated the sea outside the Japanese submarine.
