The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth's oceanic divisions. Its name is derived from the Latin name Tepre Pacificum, "peaceful sea", bestowed upon it by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan. It extends from the Arctic in the north to Antarctica in the south, bounded by Asia and Australia in the west, and the Americas in the east. At 169.2 million square kilometres (65.3 million square miles) in area, this largest division of the World Ocean – and, in turn, the hydrosphere – covers about 46% of the Earth's water surface and about 30% of its total surface.

All the island hopping, bloody battles, and fire-bombing was all in anticipation for a direct invasion of the Japanese mainland, but an invasion became unnecessary when the Japanese surrendered after the atomic bombs were dropped.

Had the Americans done nothing the Japanese would have had time gather strength and cause more damage to their neighbors.
