The Pacific Ocean is dominated by the Pacific Ocean and neighboring countries. By Japan and the United States and other allies at war, the war broke out from the Pearl Harbor incident in 194 1, and Japan attacked the Pacific base of the United States. After the United States declared war on Japan, China, which had been at war with Japan for many years, also declared war on the United States, and the two battlefields in Europe and Asia merged into one. It was not until 1945 that Japan announced its unconditional surrender.
As many as 37 countries participated in the Pacific War, involving a population of more than 65.438+0.5 billion, and the warring parties mobilized more than 60 million troops, which lasted for three years and several months. It is difficult to count casualties and losses. Allies participating in the Pacific War include the United States, China, Britain, British Indian Empire, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Dutch government in exile, Free France and the Soviet Union.
Axis countries are mainly Japan and its puppet regimes, including Manchukuo, Wang Jingwei regime and Thailand. In addition, Japan recruited many troops in its colonies (such as Korea and Taiwan Province Province), and many pro-Japanese factions fought in China.
In addition to the large-scale naval battle between Japan and the United States, this war also led to the demise of the European Axis Group. The future cold war situation, the use of atomic bombs, the anti-colonial wave and the political development of Japan and China have had a great impact on the future development of countries around the Asia-Pacific region.
