Part of the Gilbert Islands, the battle for Tarawa lasted November 20 - 23 1943. The Allies landed 35,000 troops to combat almost 5000 Japanese soldiers and Korean workers. The Japanese were well prepared with tanks, artillery and naval guns. In the three days of fighting, Americans suffered more than 3,000 killed and wounded. The Japanese and Koreans fought to nearly the last man with only 146 surviving.
