Description
Manila, the "Pearl of the Orient," served as the focal point for America's Far East military operations and planning. As pre-war tensions between the U.S. and Japan heightened, American military leaders developed war plan Orange, a strategy designed to keep control of the port city until the arrival of the U.S. Pacific Fleet from Pearl Harbor. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor knocked war plan Orange askew, and General Douglas MacArthur began withdrawing all materiel and personnel to Bataan and Corregidor. On December 26, 1941, MacArthur declared Manila an open city, and the next day Japanese aircraft initiated a series of heavy attacks against the port and area military targets. On January 2, 1942, unopposed Japanese forces entered Manila.
