In 1939, Germany, growing a little tired of peace, decided to head to Poland to start a little bit of neighbourhood mischief. I imagine you know the rest of that story. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Japan too was looking for a good time and started its search in China before it quickly kicked on all over the Pacific. This episode is all about that 'kick on' which went on to become known as the War in the Pacific.
Join me and special guest, the host of the History Files Podcast (formerly HSC History Podcast), the indefatigable Blake Hamilton, as we island hop and toredo our way across the Pacific during the Second World War.
This episode was produced by Chris Parker, researched by special guest Blake Hamilton, and the Modern Gistory theme music was written and recorded by Ella Dwyer.
