WW2 In The Pacific

General Douglas MacArthur was told to leave the Phillipines by President Roosevelt. Although MacArthur was told to leave the Phillipines, he announced and promised that he would be back to liberate the Phillipines. During World War 2, the President had to make a decision: keep fighting the war and lose American lives or end it now with an atomic bomb. The President of the U.S. declared that he would use a deadly force on Japan if they did not cease in the war, causing the U.S. to drop 2 atomic bombs in Japan.
The Allies had a hard time facing Japan because they were handicapped due to the weather and under-manned. American submarines were useful and effective in the Pacific because they were capable of sinking Japanese supply and battleships.
