World War II Battles and Campaign: New Guinea Campaign (1942-1943)

In your fifth post (titled “Conclusions”), you should draw some conclusions on all of the following things:

1) why the battle/campaign had the result it did (how can we explain success or failure?);

2) the consequences/impact of the battle/campaign on the broader course of the war;

3) identifying the three sources that you would read first if you wanted to learn more about the battle/campaign with a brief explanation of why you would start with those works.

Those are the minimums. You are free to make additional posts or to make your posts longer than the minimum (though please do not write at such a length that it creates difficulties for your graders: remember that we have to read a lot of submissions).
