Answer 1

no idea but have fun shawty sorry

Answer 2

Before the summer of '42, the US was fighting defensively and was focused on the region of the Philippines. This was relatively successful depending on the sources, but it all changed when the US decided to implement a strategy called island hopping and go on the offense. One of the key battles here was the Battle of Guadalcanal that initiated the offensive participation of the US in the Pacific.
