I was reading "This Day in History" today on the History.com Web site, and it had something I thought you all might find interesting... "On this day (Feb. 8) in 1943, Japanese troops evacuate Guadalcanal, leaving the island in Allied possession after a prolonged campaign. The American victory paved the way for other Allied wins in the Solomon Islands. Guadalcanal is the largest of the Solomons, a group of 992 islands and atolls, 347 of which are inhabited, in the South Pacific Ocean. The Solomons, which are located northeast of Australia and have 87 indigenous languages, were discovered in 1568 by the Spanish navigator Alvaro de Mendana de Neyra (1541-95)." - http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history.do?action=VideoArticle&id=52360
