| - The Pacific War was a major conflict between the Empire of Japan and several successor states and colonies of the Pacific and Southeast Asia. The Pacific War was one of the most deadly wars since the Yellowstone Eruption, being waged on a large scale across the continents of Asia and Oceania, Alaska, and much of the Pacific Ocean region, causing mass destruction. The Pacific War saw the allied nations of the the British Empire , the Netherlands, the Republic of China, and several successor states of the United States, known collectively as the American Pacific-Asiatic Zone, including the Republic of Hawaii, the Republic of Alaska, and the Commonwealth of the Philippines, pitted against the Empire of Japan, briefly aided by Thailand and other Asian nations. The war officially began on 13 December 1938 with the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor, an important American naval base and center of Pacific shipping and trade between several Pacific territories. Quickly invading to make use of the element of surprise, shortly after the attack on Pearly Harbor, Japan would also launch an invasion of Thailand, attack the British Malay Peninsula, invade the Philippines, begin the Battle of Hong Kong, and other engagements all across the Pacific. The Japanese advance would continue down the Malay Peninsula, culminating in the Battle of Singapore, the first fall of a British overseas territory. Invasions would also be launched into the Dutch East Indies, beginning a series of naval engagements including the decisive Battle of the Coral Sea. In mid 1939 the Japanese would successfully neutralize the remaining American carrier fleet at the decisive Battle of Midway, crushing Allied morale and resistance. The war saw heavy use of naval combat and bombardment from the sea and skies. To facilitate a Pacific navy and air force presence, the belligerents of the war fought to secure once remote islands across the vast ocean to be used to refuel and land on occasion.
