معركة سنغافورة
معركة سنغافورة، وتُعهد أيضاً بإسم سقوط سنغافورة، نشبت في مسرح عمليات جنوب شرق آسيا في الحرب العالمية الثانية حين غزت امبراطورية اليابان معقل الحلفاء الحصين، سنغافورة. وكانت سنغافورة هي أكبر وأقوى قاعدة عسكرية بريطانية في جنوب شرق آسيا وكانت تـُكنـّى "جبل طارق الشرق". استمر القتال في سنغافورة في الفترة 8–15 فبراير 1942.
It resulted in the capture of Singapore by the Japanese and the largest surrender of British-led military personnel in history. About 80,000 British, Indian and Australian troops became prisoners of war, joining 50,000 taken by the Japanese in the earlier Malayan Campaign. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill called the ignominious fall of Singapore to the Japanese the "worst disaster" and "largest capitulation" in British military history.

اندلاع الحرب
The Allies had imposed a trade embargo on Japan in response to its continued campaigns in China. Seeking alternative sources of necessary materials for its Pacific War against the Allies, Japan invaded Malaya. Singapore — to the south — was connected to Malaya by the Johor–Singapore Causeway. The Japanese saw it as a port which could be used as a launching pad against other Allied interests in the area and to consolidate the invaded territory.

The Japanese 25th Army invaded from Indochina, moving into northern Malaya and تايلند by amphibious assault onثمانية December 1941. This was virtually simultaneous with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which was meant to deter the US from intervening in Southeast Asia. Thailand initially resisted, but soon had to yield and allow the Japanese use their military bases to invade the European colonies in Southeast Asia. The Japanese then proceeded overland across the Thai–Malayan border to attack Malaya. At this time, the Japanese began bombing strategic sites in Singapore, and air raids were conducted on Singapore from 29 December onwards.
