Filipinos Gathering for Victory Celebration at the Provincial Capitol Building in Tacloban, Leyte
October 1944
Most likely after the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest naval battle between the Allied Forces and the Empire of Japan during the Pacific War of World War II, from October 23–26, 1944. The Japanese attempted to repel or destroy the Allied forces stationed on Leyte after the preceding Allied invasion in the Battle of Leyte. Instead, the Allied navies inflicted a major defeat on the outnumbered Imperial Japanese Navy which took away Japan's strategic force in the Pacific War. The battle was the last major naval engagement of World War II. (Leyte Gulf also saw the first use of "kamikaze" aircraft by the Japanese.)
