Description
Seeking new territories to add to its East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, Japan inched island by island toward its ultimate goal -- Australia. New Guinea, the second largest island in the world, loomed wide on Japan's covetous horizon as a possible launch site for its Australian campaign. On March 8, the invasion of New Guinea commenced. Amphibious landings on Huon Gulf's coastal airfields dispatchedJapanese troops which moved toward Port Moresby, a southern outpost only 300 miles from Australia's northern coast. The Japanese met only token ground resistance but ultimately failed to achieve their goal. A bolstered Allied air and ground offensive ultimately ensured the reconquest of New Guinea and blocked Japan's territorial expansion in the South Pacific.
