Abstract
Amphibious operations are a topic central to the history of World
War Two in the Pacific Theatre. The majority of research on this
topic has been centred on the impact of American experiences
and successes attributed to the development and evolution of
amphibious warfare. The contributions of the United Kingdom and
Japan to the development of amphibious warfare have been
either overlooked or marginalized. This thesis will investigate the
amphibious activities of all three powers both during and before
the Pacific War, and seek to explain the importance of each
nation’s contribution to amphibious warfare. In addition, the thesis
will demonstrate how in its highest forms amphibious operations
became a fully fledged system of global force projection. The
thesis will explain how each of these powers interpreted the
legacy of the failure of the 1915 Gallipoli campaign both in the
context of their own wartime experiences, and in their respective
strategic worldviews. This interpretation is central to how each
power prepared for amphibious operations in the next war. The
importance of the geography of the Pacific Ocean to the evolution
and development of amphibious warfare will be discussed, as will
the advances in technology that allowed the creation of logistical
systems to support these operations.

This forum is often very interesting for the high level of historical data and debate thereof.

Im always glad for his sort of thing as some posters in this forum tend to base their discussion of the game and what should be in it etc on ill conceived opinions rather than discussion and interpretation of historical fact.

I blame some of the terribly shallow and often inaccuratet additions to the Discovery channel.

One gem of a doco stated quite firmly that WWII started in 1941,, hurahh <groan>

cheers

Is that any worse than saying it started in 1939?

Very much a war. Quite ongoing and only an incident in the political double-speak of certain interested parties of the time. As far as did not participate in world, of course they did. Maybe not to whatever standard you set in whatever part of the world. But then, did Poland participate in the world to whatever standard folks in Siam or Malaya might have set? Probably not, but objectively the world war was certainly on by then.

I suggest that objectively the WW got started when things really heated up in Asia sometime prior. It just wasn't seen as a WW by North Americans and Europeans until they were involved. Which is normal human nature.
