| abstract
| - The Pacific War, sometimes called the Asia-Pacific War, was the theatre of World War II which was fought in the Pacific and East Asia. It was fought over a vast area which included the Pacific Ocean and islands, the South West Pacific, the South-East Asia, and in China (including the 1945 German attack on Manchuria). It is generally considered that the Pacific War began on December 7/8, 1941 on which dates the Empire of Japan invaded Thailand and attacked British possessions in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong as well as the United States military base in Pearl Harbor. Some historians contend that the conflict in Asia can be dated back to July 7, 1937 with the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War between the Empire of Japan and the Republic of China, or possibly September 19, 1931 beginning with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. However, it is more widely accepted that the Pacific War itself started in early December 1941, with the Sino-Japanese War then becoming part of it as a theater of the greater World War II. The Pacific War saw the Allied powers pitted against the Empire of Japan, the latter briefly aided by Thailand. The war culminated in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and other large aerial bomb attacks by the United States Army Air Forces, accompanied by the German invasion of Manchuria on August 8, 1945 resulting in the Japanese announcement of intent to surrender on August 15, 1945. The formal and official surrender of Japan took place aboard the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945.
