The Gilbert Islands were the first line of advance for the offensive in the Central Pacific.
The primary objective was the Tarawa Atoll and Betio Island which had been fortified to the point that the Japanese Commander proclaimed "It would take a million Americans 100 years to conquer it."
On 20 November 1943, Marines landed and secured the island within 76 hours, but paid a heavy price while doing so.
