War in the Pacific National Historical Park

Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands are United States territories in the Pacific. In World War II Japan occupied Guam from December 1941, and on 21 July 1944 US forces landed at Asan and Agat and retook the island, part of the Mariana Islands campaign together with the battles of Saipan and Tinian. Established in 1978, the park honours everyone who took part in the Pacific War, including the people of Guam.
