From June 1942 until August 1943, Allied forces fought the Aleutian Islands campaign against invading Japanese forces. Japan had occupied sovereign United States soil of two Alaskan islands, the only time during World War 2 where that occurred.

The main battle of Attu that took place during May 1943 was the only time during World War 2 where a land battle took place on incorporated United States territory. Japan was completely defeated by August 1943 and the campaign in Alaska was over.

The entire campaign was remembered as the "Forgotten Battle" as other events of the time overshadowed it.
