On this weeks dive into history we discuss the Japanese invasion of Alaska. In the Battle of the Aleutian Islands (June 1942-August 1943) during World War II (1939-45), U.S. troops fought to remove Japanese garrisons established on a pair of U.S.-owned islands west of Alaska. In June 1942, Japan had seized the remote, sparsely inhabited islands of Attu and Kiska, in the Aleutian Islands. It was the only U.S. soil Japan would claim during the war in the Pacific. ------ In part 4 we discuss the mistakes made by the Allied Forces, the end of the Aleutian Islands campaign, and why we think this battle is forgotten ------ Follow What In the History on Fb, Instagram, and YouTube @whatinthehistorypod Follow Johnny Smith @stand up comedy, Johnny Smith Style Follow Dan Brady @dbcomedy814 on both Instagram and Facebook…
