Japanese attack and take control of the Philippines

Just nine hours after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese attacked the Phillipines, taking it over in 1942 after defeating the combined American-Philippino force. This led to my grandfather's being stationed in the Philippines around the time of the liberation in 1944.
