00:00 Intro
02:00 The Japanese offensive
04:14 Midway
08:26 Island hopping

Correction:
2:58 This map should have been labeled “Germany and Occupied Territories” to reflect the extent of the German army’s advance in December 1941.
3:01 This map mistakenly includes the territories of modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina and Finland as part of German-occupied territories. These nations were aligned with the Axis powers but not under German occupation.
