• Island-hopping campaign begins - Battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa

• Japanese capture of the Philippines. Douglas MacArthur proclaims; "I will return"

Answer explanation

Japanese "Punch us" @ Pearl Harbor and quickly take our Pacific possessions like the Philippines. General McArthur proclaims: "I will return".
