If you mean what caused the

conflict in the Pacific Theater during World War II, well, that's

easy.

The Japanese thought they got

cheated during World War 1, because although they fought with the

good guys (US, Britain, etc.), they gained much less territory from

the German commonwealth (colonies). They only gained what is now

North and South Korea.

So they needed more land to expand,

so they attacked the Chinese colony of Manchuria, which the League

of Nations (a sort of United Nations for after World War 1)

strongly opposed. However, Japan eventually took control of most of

eastern China and most of the Pacific Islands, which were either

unoccupied or only had primitive natives living on them.

Now early in World War II, Japan

was running out of supplies because the US and several other key

production countries cut off supplies to Japan. Germany wasn't one

of them, so the Japanese thought, "Hey, if we can make allies with

Germany, we can get all these awesome weapons!" So Germany allowed

Japan to join the Axis, along with Italy.

Now the main conflict of the

Pacific was the US-Japanese conflict. All along with Europe being

taken over by Germany and Italy, the US was like, "No! We won't

join that bloody fight!" But when the Japanese attacked Pearl

Harbor, which the US was furious of because Japan hadn't declared

war. Anyway, the US declared war, and according to the Axis'

alliance, Germany and Italy declared war on the US. So the US began

a rapid assault on the Japanese-controlled Pacific Islands to win

the war.
