Can nothing stop them? The Allies are thinking about maybe using the Solomon Islands as a base to build to try and fight back, but to do that they&#8217;ll need control of the Coral Sea, but both sides are sending warships there since the Japanese plan to take Port Moresby. The Allies are aware of this, however, since they have the advantage of being able to read a substantial part of Japan&#8217;s radio traffic. It is a week of foreshadowing not just there, but also as the Allies send ships to take Madagascar from the Vichy French and the Soviets prepare to launch an offensive in the south of the Eastern Front.<\/p>\n<p>Join us on Patreon: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TimeGhostHistory\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TimeGhostHistory<\/a><br \/>\nOr join The TimeGhost Army directly at: <a href=\"https:\/\/timeghost.tv\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/timeghost.tv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow WW2 day by day on Instagram @ww2_day_by_day &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ww2_day_by_day\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ww2_day_by_day<\/a><br \/>\nBetween 2 Wars: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLrG5J-K5AYAU1R-HeWSfY2D1jy_sEssNG\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list&#8230;<\/a><br \/>\nSource list: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/WW2sources\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/WW2sources<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Written and Hosted by: Indy Neidell<br \/>\nDirector: Astrid Deinhard<br \/>\nProducers: Astrid Deinhard and Spartacus Olsson<br \/>\nExecutive Producers: Astrid Deinhard, Indy Neidell, Spartacus Olsson, Bodo Rittenauer<br \/>\nCreative Producer: Maria Kyhle<br \/>\nPost-Production Director: Wieke Kapteijns<br \/>\nResearch by: Indy Neidell<br \/>\nEdited by: Iryna Dulka<br \/>\nSound design: Marek Kami\u0144ski<br \/>\nMap animations: Eastory (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/eastory\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/eastory<\/a>\u200b)<\/p>\n<p>Colorizations by:<br \/>\n&#8211; Daniel Weiss<br \/>\n&#8211; Norman Stewart &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/oldtimesincolor.blogspot.com\/\u200b\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/oldtimesincolor.blogspot.com\/\u200b<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sources:<br \/>\n&#8211; IWM JAR 1240, A 9483<\/p>\n<p>Soundtracks from the Epidemic Sound:<br \/>\n&#8211; Rannar Sillard &#8211; &#8220;Easy Target&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; Jo Wandrini &#8211; &#8220;Dragon King&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; Fabien Tell &#8211; &#8220;Other Sides of Glory&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; Brightarm Orchestra &#8211; &#8220;On the Edge of Change&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; Edward Karl Hanson &#8211; &#8220;Spellbound&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; Johan Hynynen &#8211; &#8220;Dark Beginning&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; Rannar Sillard &#8211; &#8220;Split Decision&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; Dream Cave &#8211; &#8220;The Beast&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Archive by Screenocean\/Reuters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.screenocean.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.screenocean.com<\/a>\u200b.<\/p>\n<p>A TimeGhost chronological documentary produced by OnLion Entertainment GmbH.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_2021-05-02-Japan-\u2013-One-Battle-from-Victory-\u2013-140-\u2013-May-2-1942.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_2021-05-02-Japan-\u2013-One-Battle-from-Victory-\u2013-140-\u2013-May-2-1942-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-65432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_2021-05-02-Japan-\u2013-One-Battle-from-Victory-\u2013-140-\u2013-May-2-1942-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_2021-05-02-Japan-\u2013-One-Battle-from-Victory-\u2013-140-\u2013-May-2-1942-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_2021-05-02-Japan-\u2013-One-Battle-from-Victory-\u2013-140-\u2013-May-2-1942-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot_2021-05-02-Japan-\u2013-One-Battle-from-Victory-\u2013-140-\u2013-May-2-1942.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published 1 May 2021 Now Burma and control of the Burma Road have fallen to the Japanese.
