Until the arrival of the Japanese. Tulagi was the capital of the chain, and today it is in the midst of the fighting.

The islands lie east of New Guinea and roughly 1,000 miles northeast of a five-hour flight by bomber. Most of the 150,000 naties have resisted European civilization, and some tribes still engage in cannibalism and head-hunting expeditions against rival natives. Great Britain annexed a part of the islands 50 years ago. and Germany owned part of the chain before they were mandated to Australia after the World War.

For a long time the principal export of the islands was slaves, to work on Australian sugar plantation and in the Fiji corpra industry. Later exports were copra and copra oil, used before the war in the United States in making soaps, candles and substitutes.
