How many people died in Saipan in 1941 resisting the Japanese? I'm speaking of the indigenous population, not the American soldiers who invaded in 1944.

Ditto for Guam. Yes, December 8, 1941 was a very one-sided and quick contest thanks to the flunkies in the State Department who vetoed any defense of Guam lest it provoke the Japanese. How did that work out?

The indigenous population of Guam resisted bravely until the American military returned in 1944. By most estimates, said resistance and the reprisals which resulted cost them 10% of their population. That's nothing to dismiss lightly.

Since the Japanese were the occupiers in 1941 and we didn’t attack till 1944, I doubt that many people died in Saipan in 1941.

Where the Japanese went, people died. But I can find no indications of any overt resistance. If you can enlighten me, please do.
