south to new guinea. they really owned the pacific. they pushed into the east indies in january and february of 1942. al, their goal, whenever they pushed south, was to control australia as well and to cut our lifeline. we were continuing to supply australia and keep them in the fight. then a fantastic thing happened for our country. and we heard about it yesterday. on april 18th, 1942, the dolittle raiders hit tokyo. that was a turning point. we didn't realize it at the time. yamamoto, the combined commander of the chief, had been pushing the emperor and the leadership of japan to take midway. they said no, we want to push south and take australia. the dolittle raid gave him the backing he needed to push his plan to invade and take midway. his thinking and his argument was, we've got to protect the eastern approach to tokyo. we can't allow the americans to attack us unknown again. and so that really set the wheels in motion for the battle of midway. in addition, there was the battle of coral sea down in the south pacific, which again was one of the first battles where we stepped up and we took on the
