The Kokoda Track

from Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography, & More · host Gary Arndt

In July 1942, Japanese forces landed on the north shore of the island of New Guinea  Their goal was to cross the island by land and take the strategic city of Port Moresby.  If they had been successful, the entire fate of the war in the Pacific would have altered.  They didn’t take it, thanks to the tenacious resistance put up by Australian forces.  Learn more about the Kokoda Track and how it turned the war in the Pacific on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.  Sponsors Quince Go to quince.com/daily for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order!
