History in Orbit: A Look At The War in the Pacific
Some of the largest atrocities in world history took place within Europe during World War II. However, the Mediterranean theater wasn’t the only battleground. On the other side of the world, another war was being fought against an entirely different enemy. The Pacific War began with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941, and ran until the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945. Among the countries involved, there were a total of 6 million military deaths and a staggering 26 million civilian deaths.
