On this day in 1942, United States Marines invaded Guadalcanal, Tulagi, and Florida Islands. Subject of many books, it was the first strike on the ground against the Empire of Japan. The objectives were to blunt the Japanese drive on Australia and the capture of the airfield under construction on Guadalcanal.
