Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States stepped into a conflict it had long tried to stay out of. Now embroiled in World War II on two fronts, the United States moved to send troops, planes, ships, guns, and tanks to the European theater to assisted the UK and the remaining French forces. In the Pacific Theater, the United States allied with Australia to push the Japanese back to the main islands.

History

The alliance between the United States and Australian wasnt just a matter of aligning morals and convictions, it was a matter of strategic alliances. Australia was also threatened by the expansion of Japan across the Pacific Ocean and the US and Australia came together to push them back. One example of that joint effort was the Battle of the Coral Sea in which a joint US-Australian cruiser task force and a US aircraft carrier group stopped the Japanese advance into the South Pacific.
