Wuxuu soo jeediyay weerarka si loo diido isticmaalka koonfurta Jasiiradaha Solomon ee Japan oo saldhig u ah inay ku hanjabaan waddooyinka sahayda ee u dhexeeya Mareykanka iyo Australia, iyo inay u adeegsadaan inay yihiin bar bilow ah oo loogu talagalay olole ujeedkiisu yahay qabashada ama baabi'inta saldhiga weyn ee Japan ee Rabaul iyadoo sidoo kale taageereysa ololaha Allied New Guinea, iyada oo ujeedada ugu dambeysa ay tahay furitaanka jidka Mareykanka si dib loogu qabsado Filibiin. Admiral Chester Nimitz oo ahaa taliyaha guud ee ciidamada xulafada Pacific-ka ayaa abuuray tiyaatarka Koonfurta Baasifigga isagoo leh ku xigeenka Admiral Robert L. Ghormley oo ah taliyaha si uu u hago weerarka xulafada ee Solomons. Diyaarinta weerarka, bishii May 1942, Major General Alexander Vandegrift ayaa lagu amray inuu ka guuro qeybtiisa 1aad ee ciidamada badda ee Mareykanka kuna wareejiyo New Zealand. Ciidamo kale oo ka tirsan xoogagga dhulka, badda, iyo hawada ayaa loo diray Fiji, Samoa, iyo New Caledonia.

Ugu horeyntii, weerarkii Allied waxaa loo qorsheeyay Tulagi iyo Santa Cruz Islands, Guadalcanal ayaa laga saaray. Si kastaba ha noqotee, ka dib markii basaasnimada Allied ay ogaatay dadaallada dhismaha garoonka diyaaradaha ee Japan ee Guadalcanal, qabsashada garoonka diyaaradahaas ayaa lagu daray qorshaha waxaana la joojiyay hawlgalkii Santa Cruz. Ciidankii duulimaadyada ee Allied Watchtower oo ka koobnaa 75 maraakiib dagaal iyo gaadiid, oo ay ku jireen maraakiib ka timid labada dal ee Mareykanka iyo Australia, ayaa ku soo ururay meel u dhow Fiji 26-kii Luulyo waxayna ku hawlan yihiin hal tijaabo soo degitaan ka hor inta aysan u dhoofin Guadalcanal 31-kii Luulyo. Vandegrift wuxuu ahaa taliyaha guud ee 16,000 Allied (ugu horrayn ciidamada badda ee Mareykanka) ciidamada dhulka ee ku lug lahaa soo degista wuxuuna si shaqsi ah u amray weerarkii Guadalcanal. Taliska ciidamada badda ee Maraykanka oo gaaraya 3,000 oo askari ayaa ka degay Tulagi iyo jasiiradaha u dhow...  Suaal: Muxuu ahaa magaca sirta ah ee xerada Espiritu Santo?
