Exploring Tank Battles in the Pacific Theatre of World War II


When discussing World War II, many historical strategy gamers might overlook the tank battles that occurred in the Pacific Theatre. Contrary to popular belief, these battles were frequent, albeit on a smaller scale compared to the Western Theatre. The origins of these tank engagements can be traced back to the 1930s in China, where Chinese forces utilized Russian T26s and German Panzer Is against Japanese troops.



The conflict extended beyond China, with notable battles occurring between the Japanese and Russians in 1939 and 1945, under the command of one of the world’s greatest generals, Georgy Zhukov. In 1941, the French in Vietnam briefly engaged the Japanese using World War I-era tanks. British Commonwealth forces also participated in battles in Burma and India, often relying on equipment that would have been considered outdated on the Western Front.

The monumental struggle between Japan and the United States resulted in numerous tank engagements, including significant battles during the Island War, where over 30 Japanese tanks participated in a single mass assault.
