Guam: two invasions and three military occupations
Apple RA. 1980. Guam: two invasions and three military occupations. Miscellaneous publication no. 3. Micronesian Area Research Center of the University of Guam. Mangilao, Guam
Americans, Guamanians, Japanese and Koreans were involved with Guam as part of the Pacific theater of World War II. This paper deals primarily with two military campaigns and three of the four military occupations which center on the island of Guam, the location of six detached units in the National Historical Park established by Congress in 1978. One campaign is the capture of Guam by Japan from the United States in 1941; the other is Guam's recapture by the United States in 1944. Included is the bravery and sacrifice of Pacific Islanders as they interacted with those who occupied and fought on the islands in a war not of their own making.
