Taken at face value, the small Southwest Central Pacific island chains of the Marshalls, Kiribati (former Gilberts) and Micronesia don't really amount to anything more than isolated atolls, which were destination spots for adventurous vacationers before hostilities broke out. Treasured by snorkelers, divers and sports fishermen, these were islands in the stream of well-plied sea routes for trade and commerce. However, in the big picture, they have become strategic points of control since having fallen under Indochine rule.
With the advent of war, Indochine forces quickly snatched up the Marshalls, Kiribati, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Solomons. From bases on these strategic points, the Indochine forces can project power over the sea routes of the southwest central Pacific and provide a stranglehold over Australian and Philippine supply and reinforcement.
In this scenario, we find the Allies attempting their first offensive action in the war by launching a plan to retake Majuro in the Marshalls and Betio (Tarawa) in the Kiribati island group - a desperate gamble to free the Islands in the Stream.
