Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese offensive in the Far East seemed unstoppable. Allied forces engaged in a futile attempt to halt their rapid advance, culminating in the massed fleet of American, British, Dutch, and Australian forces clashing with the Japanese at the battle of the Java Sea - the first major sea battle of World War II in the Pacific. In a campaign crippled by poor leadership, the Allies' response was catastrophic. Ground troops were left cut off from reinforcement and supply, with no defense against Japanese air attacks, and no hope of retreat. Facing a relentless and vicious enemy, the combined forces responded not by surrendering, but by defiantly holding on in a struggle that was as much a test of character, bravery, and determination as it was a test of arms.
