Part Four: December 1941: Tracing the Invasion of Guam, Wake Island, and the Philippines

With curator Larry Decuers

December 7, 1941, is a day etched into the consciousness of many Americans, but it was not the only location vulnerable to swift Japanese expansion and invasion in the last month of 1941. Join Museum collections staff for an exploration of the battles of Guam, Wake Island, and the Philippines, all surrendered to the Japanese early in the war in the Pacific. Utilizing artifacts, oral histories, and interactive maps from the Museum's special exhibit Infamy: December 1941, and drawing from firsthand and expert perspective, trace how the United States was under-equipped and outmanned against effective Japanese forces in the outset of World War II.
