In 1942 and 1943 the war in the Pacific and in Asia covered vast distances as Japanese ambitions sought to bring much of these lands under their control. In the British colonies of Malaya and Burma, the Japanese swept British and Indian forces towards the Indian frontier in what seemed like an unstoppable tide.

In the Western Pacific Ocean, the Japanese seized US possessions and dependencies, quickly overwhelming garrisons, even taking the Philippines from local and US troops. They even reached the doorstep of Australia, taking control of the Dutch East Indies and landing in Papua New Guinea and prompting the Australians to bring their forces back from the Mediterranean theatre and hastily dispatch home defence troops to Papua New Guinea.

However, as the Allies recovered from these initial setbacks they began the long and hard fought battle to turn back the Japanese tide. The British and Indians launch a number of offensives to recover Burma, while the Americans and Australians fight together to secure Papua New Guinea, while the Americans begin the fight for the Solomon Islands at Guadalcanal.
