		In this first American ground offensive of the war, the 1st Marine Division captured and held Henderson Field, a vital airfield built initially by the Japanese.
		On 21 May 1943, the newly commissioned Lieutenant Mitchell Paige was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for extraordinary heroism and conspicuous gallantry in action above and beyond the call of duty during his long night on the ridge.
		Had that position fallen, it would have surely led to the enemy recapture of Henderson Field, and the outcome of World War II in the Pacific may have been radically different.

		The Japanese landed on Tulagi in May to build a seaplane base, and in late June on Guadalcanal to build an airfield, threats to all of the Allied area and ships within range of land-based aircraft, constituting the initial rational for the United States to not let Guadalcanal remain in Japanese hands.
		On August 7, 1942 the United States launched the First Offensive of the Pacific War with the landings of the U.S. Marines on Guadalcanal, their first objective to seize the landing strip that they would re-name Henderson Field.

	The Battleship Kongo
		In the most effective Japanese bombardment ever by either air or sea, the 14 inch shells from the battleships all but put Henderson Field out of operation [note].
		Although the next night (13/14) Henderson was bombarded by the cruisers Suzuya and Maya, aircraft sank seven Japanese transports on 14 november.
		In retrospect, it is clear that the oil boycott meant war, since Japan would have to seize foreign oil fields (in Indonesia) or be rendered helpless in the face of any American demands.
