Question

How was the war in the Pacific different than the war in Europe?

Answer 1

The pacific was to defend from Japan while the war in Europe was to defend from Nazi's.

Answer 2

- The war in Europe was a fight against National Socialism (the Nazi's), and the Pacific war was a fight for countries such as Australia and the US to defend land from being taken over by Japan. They are commonly thought of as the same war because they happened in the same era, and that Japan and Germany were allies. It is however true that the war in the Pacific was more likely to happen with WWII, than if it did not happen.
The war in the Pacific between Japan and USA were being fought over sea and with suicidle pilots, kamikaze pilots, the war in Europe was fought on land or over land, it was much more brutal in the Pacific as the Japanese took the Americans as prisoners and treated them very badly, the war in the Pacific ended very brutal when the Americans could not face the Japanese troops and attacked two areas by thowing one atomic bomb on each area, thousands died, mostly civilians, the war in Europe was mostly troops against troops and the end of war was not as brutal.
