Japanese aggression in the Pacific developed very quickly. Japanese troops began arriving in the Philippines on December 11th, 1941. The fighting was extremely fierce. The Japanese were defeating the Philippine and American forces. General MacArthur had been recalled to active duty by President Franklin Roosevelt. President Roosevelt ordered MacArthur to leave the Philippines to command American forces in the South Pacific. General MacArthur finally agreed to leave for Australia before the Philippines surrendered to Japan. But he made a promise to the Philippine people. He said, "I shall return."日本在太平洋地区的攻击很快变得猛烈起来。日本军队与1941年12月11日到达菲律宾。战斗非常惨烈。麦克阿瑟被总统召回去行使自己的职责。罗斯福总统命令麦克阿瑟离开菲律宾指挥美国军队在南太平洋地区的战斗。麦克阿瑟将军最终在菲律宾投降日本前去往澳大利亚地区。但他对菲律宾人民发誓，“我会回来的”
