Tarawa—a remote atoll in the Pacific—became a name etched in history in November 1943. In just 76 hours, over 1,000 men were killed in one of World War II’s bloodiest battles. The beaches of Betio, where U.S. Marines fought fiercely against entrenched Japanese forces, were soaked in sacrifice. Today, Tarawa is part of the island nation of Kiribati. Rusting war relics remain—silent reminders of the cost of war. Join us on a tour of Tarawa as it looks today, Tarawa Battlefield Relics on our YouTub
