It saw the only land battle fought on U.S. soil in World War two. .
Apart from that, the invasion of the Kiska island known as Operation Cottage is remembered as one of the most bizarre actions in the entire war.

Hello simple history, my great grandfather fought in the battle of Attu I was wondering was there ever a banzai charge. My grandfather had told me that he was involved in a bayonet charge when a Japanese soldier charged and stabbed his elbow. On his way back a grenade landed in front or beside of his Jeep and caused an explosion causing head trauma but not killing him. He fought with the Americans. I was wondering if this story is flawed and if any of it is inaccurate.

If I recall correctly, some of the troops the US brought into the campaign had just gone through desert warfare training because they were supposed to go to the North African Theater.

From a very technical standpoint, wouldn't the Philippines be considered "US soil" as it still was under US administration when the Japanese attacked? It would be like if Puerto Rico was attacked. No one would say PR isn't US soil.

313 casualties? And the Japanese still lost the island! Can you imagine outscoring your opponent 313-0 and you still lose?

Get your facts straight. Alaska, Guam and the Philippines were all territories of the United States in 1941 that were captured by the Japanese after the attack on Pearl Harbor. So there was more then one land battle fought on U.S. soil. If you were to change the title to North American soil, then you would be correct. But since you say U.S. SOIL, you are dismissing the 1,700 American troops who died on Guam and the 15,000 that died in the Philippines to retake american soil captured by the Japanese.

Alaska was not a state then, so if you count it as a US soil you also have to count Guam and the Philippines that had a similar status to Alaska at the time.

I think Hiroshima and Nagasaki are a bit more bizarre than this operation. Or maybe the internment of over 100.000 Japanese-Americans who didn't commit any crimes.

A WW ll Japanese submarine surfaced in Feb. 1942 at Santa Barbara, CA and fired at the beach. Nobody was injured. He did manage to displace some sand.

It's been shown in the past few decades that the Japanese plan to take these islands was not a diversion for the Midway operation; it was supplemental. The Japanese really did want to take and hold these islands as an end in itself, to increase their defensive perimeter in the Pacific. Great video, though!

Uh ... the "only" battle fought on U.S. soil in WW2? What about Guam, Wake Island and the Philippines? Those were technically U.S. territories.

Alaska was not a state, it was a territory, which is not US soil. Proof, if you were born in Alaska before it became a State, (1959),you are not a US citizen unless serving in the US government. Same for Hawaii, note the reports when attacked in 1941, the US Navel base was attacked, not the USA. Thus the headline here is incorrect. Additionally, Japan never had any intention of winning or holding in Alaska, it was a diversion for the attack on Midway, another US Territory.
