List of waterfalls in the United Kingdom

82.2.89.219: /* England */Added overlooked waterfall

{{Short description|None}}

This is a links page to the named [[waterfall]]s found in the [[UK]] and includes a list of the highest waterfalls.

== Highest waterfalls in the UK ==

The list of highest waterfalls is often controversial, due to the ambiguity of whether to measure the single largest fall or the sum of a series of falls, and many falls make false claims to the record.
This table lists above-ground waterfalls by tallest single drop (not necessarily unbroken).

The '''Mariana and Palau Islands campaign''', also known as '''Campaign Plan Granite II''', was an offensive launched by the [[United States]] against [[Empire of Japan|Imperial Japanese]] forces in the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]] between June and November 1944 during the [[Pacific War]].<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/wapa/extContent/usmc/pcn-190-003126-00/sec3.htm |title = Liberation: Marines in the Recapture of Guam (Operation in Forager)|website = www.nps.gov|access-date = 2016-03-09}}</ref> The campaign consisted of Operation Forager, which captured the [[Mariana Islands]], and Operation Stalemate, which captured [[Palau]]. [[Operation Causeway]], an invasion of Japanese-controlled [[Taiwan]], was also planned but not executed.{{sfn|Operation Granite II|1944|pp=10–23}} The offensive, under the overall command of [[Chester W. Nimitz]], followed the [[Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign]] and was intended to neutralize Japanese bases in the central Pacific, support the [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] drive to retake the [[Philippines]], and provide bases for a [[Japan campaign|strategic bombing campaign against Japan]].

The United States assembled a significant combined arms task force to undertake the campaign. The Fifth Fleet was commanded by Admiral [[Raymond A. Spruance]]. Task Force 58, commanded by Vice Admiral [[Marc Mitscher]], consisted of 15 carriers, 7 battleships, 11 cruisers, 86 destroyers and over 900 planes. The amphibious invasion force, commanded by Vice Admiral [[Richmond K. Turner]], consisted of 56 attack transports, 84 landing craft and over 127,000 troops.<ref>The Great Courses. ''World War II: The Pacific Theater''.  Lecture 14.  Professor Craig Symonds</ref>

At the beginning of the campaign, [[United States Marine Corps]] and [[United States Army]] forces, with support from the [[United States Navy]], executed landings on [[Battle of Saipan|Saipan]] in June 1944. In response, the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]]'s [[Combined Fleet]] sortied to attack the U.S. Navy force supporting the landings. In the resulting [[Battle of the Philippine Sea]] (also known as the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot") on 19–20 June, the Japanese naval forces were decisively defeated with heavy and irreplaceable losses to their carrier-borne and land-based aircraft.

U.S. forces landed on [[Battle of Saipan|Saipan]] in June 1944 and on [[Battle of Guam (1944)|Guam]] and [[Battle of Tinian|Tinian]] in July 1944. After heavy fighting, Saipan was secured in July and Guam and Tinian in August 1944. The U.S. then constructed airfields on Saipan and Tinian from which [[Boeing B-29 Superfortress|B-29]]s were able to conduct strategic bombing missions against the [[Japanese archipelago|Japanese home islands]] until the end of World War II, including the [[Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki|nuclear attacks]] on [[Hiroshima]] and [[Nagasaki]].

In the meantime, in order to secure the flank for U.S. forces preparing to attack Japanese forces in the Philippines, U.S. Marine and Army forces landed on the islands of [[Battle of Peleliu|Peleliu]] and [[Battle of Angaur|Angaur]] in [[Palau]] in September 1944. After heavy fighting, both islands were finally secured by U.S. forces in November 1944, while the main Japanese garrison in the Palaus on Koror was bypassed altogether, only to surrender in August 1945 with the [[Surrender of Japan|Japan’s capitulation]].

Following their landings in the Mariana and Palau Islands, Allied forces continued their ultimately successful campaign against Japan by landing in the [[Philippines campaign (1944–1945)|Philippines]] in October 1944 and the [[Volcano and Ryukyu Islands campaign|Volcano and Ryukyu Islands]] beginning in January 1945.
