Kebiasaannya, Perang Pasifik dikatakan bermula pada 7/8 Disember 1941, ketika mana Jepun menakluk Thailand dan menyerang kawasan jajahan British iaitu Tanah Melayu, Singapura dan Hong Kong, serta pengkalan-penglakan tentera Amerika Syarikat di Hawaii dan Filipina. Sesetengah ahli sejarawan mengatakan konflik di Asia boleh dijejak kembali sehingga 7 Julai 1937 dan permulaan Perang China-Jepun Kedua antara Empayar Jepun dengan Republik China, atau mungkin pada 19 September 1931 ketika bermulanya penjajahan Jepun di Manchuria. Namun, awal Disember 1941 lebih diterima meluas sebagai tarikh permulaan Perang Pasifik, dan Perang China-Jepun adalah sebahagian daripadanya sebagai satu teater Perang Dunia Kedua yang lebih besar.

Dalam Perang Pasifik, kuasa-kuasa Berikat bertempur melawan Empayar Jepun. Jepun dibantu sedikit oleh sekutunya Thailand dan lebih sedikit oleh sekutu kuasa Paksinya, Jerman dan Itali. Perang di rantau ini sampai ke kemuncaknya dengan pengeboman atom Hiroshima dan Nagasaki, dan serangan pengeboman udara besar yang lain oleh Pasukan Udara Tentera Darat Amerika Syarikat, diikuti oleh penjajahan Manchuria oleh Kesatuan Soviet pada 8 Ogos 1945, lantas menjurus kepada pengumuman hasrat menyerah diri oleh Jepun pada 15 Ogos 1945. Jepun menyerah kalah secara formal dan rasmi di atas kapal perang USS Missouri di Teluk Tokyo pada 2 September 1945. Selepas kekalahan Jepun, Maharaja Jepun yang berpandukan Shinto menuruni takhtanya sebagai pemerintah ketuhanan Arahan Shinto kerana kuasa Berikat percaya inilah sebab politik utama yang menyebabkan keganasan ketenteraan Jepun dan proses dekonstruksi kerajaan Jepun segera berlaku untuk membina perlembagaan liberal-demokratik kepada penduduk Jepun yang menjadi Perlembagaan Jepun pada hari ini.
