The Aleutian Campaign
The Aleutian Islands Campaign was a
struggle over the Aleutian Islands,
part of the Alaska Territory, in the
Pacific campaign of World War II starting
on 3 June 1942. A small Japanese
force occupied the islands of Attu
and Kiska, but the remoteness of the islands
and the difficulties of weather and terrain
meant that it took nearly a year for a far
larger U.S. force to eject them. Similarly,
the U.S. feared that the islands would be used
as bases from which to launch aerial assaults
against the West Coast.
