Part 2 of Conflict in the Pacific covers further the army movements in the Pacific and tactics in war. The American navy fought with a distinct advantage due to their successes in intelligence. In Iwo Jima, only 216 out of 21000 Japanese soldiers surrendered, the others either committed suicide or died in battle. Why were the Japanese particularly worried about the unconditional surrender in connection with their Emperor? How did the Allies justify using the 'H' bomb that killed tens of thousands of civilians? And what were the reasons for the allies' urgently wanting to end the war with Japan? This programme looks at the Allied Strategy against Japan, the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway, Guadalcanal, the cult of Bushido, New Guinea, Island-hopping. This video also examines the Yalta Conference, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and the Potsdam Conference; the A-bomb and subsequent controversy over its use; the Allied occupation of Japan (1945-52); and the consequences of the war in the Pacific.
