The battle for Guadalcanal, a back-and-forth struggle between the Japanese and Americans in World War II, began in August of 1942 and ended in February of 1943. Serious fighting on land and in the waters surrounding the island began once American troops were landed in August. After numerous land and sea (and air) battles, the Japanese finally conceded defeat and evacuated the area some six months later.
