Pacific War

The Pacific War was a major conflict during World War II, primarily fought between Japan and the Allied Powers, particularly the United States. It began with Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and lasted until Japan's surrender in September 1945. The war involved significant battles across the Pacific Ocean, including in places like Midway, Guadalcanal, and Iwo Jima. It was characterized by brutal fighting, island-hopping campaigns, and the use of naval and air power. The war ended with the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading to Japan's eventual capitulation and the end of World War II.
