During the [[Second World War]] Port Moresby was an important allied base; it lay in the small part of southern New Guinea not to have been conquered by the Japanese in 1941-42. The preservation of this bastion meant that the Japanese could not conquer all of New Guinea and proceed to invade northern [[Australia]].
