In response, the U.S. declared war on Japan. Soon after, Germany declared war on the U.S as well. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan achieved a long series of military successes, eight islands fell to the Japanese. The turning point was in the summer of 1942, when the U.S. attacked the Japanese in the Solomon Islands, forcing a costly withdrawal of Japanese forces from the island of Guadalcanal. Allied forces slowly gained control in the Pacific, and moved from island to island, conquering them. Advertisements and American propaganda posters for the war Popular Authors in the 1940s 1.
