'''Perang Pasifik''' atau '''Perang Asia Pasifik''', atau yang dikenal di [[Jepang]] dengan nama '''Perang Asia Timur Raya''' ({{Nihongo|'''Greater East Asia War'''|[[:ja:大東亜戦争|大東亜戦争]]|Dai Tō-A Sensō}}) <!--dan di [[RRT|Tiongkok]] sebagai '''Perang Perlawanan Terhadap Agresi Jepang''' (太平洋戰爭, ''tài píng yáng zhàn zhēng''), --> adalah perang yang terjadi di [[Samudra Pasifik]], [[Kepulauan Pasifik|pulau-pulaunya]], dan di [[Asia]]. Konflik ini terjadi antara tahun [[1937]] dan [[1945]]. Namun peristiwa-peristiwa yang lebih penting terjadi setelah [[7 Desember]] [[1941]], ketika Jepang menyerang [[Pearl Harbor]], [[Amerika Serikat]] serta [[koloni]] negara Sekutu di Asia dan Pasifik, yang membuat Amerika Serikat terlibat dalam Perang Dunia II bersama Sekutu.

[[Perang Tiongkok-Jepang Kedua]] antara [[Kekaisaran Jepang]] dan [[Republik Tiongkok (1912–49)|Republik Tiongkok]] telah berlangsung sejak 7 Juli 1937, dengan permusuhan sejak 19 September 1931, karena Jepang melancarkan [[Invasi Jepang ke Manchuria|invasi ke Manchuria]].<ref>{{cite book | first = Roy M. | last = MacLeod | url = https://books.google.com/books?

Pada Perang Pasifik ini,  terlihat gabungan pasukan [[Sekutu Perang Dunia II|Sekutu]] diadu melawan Jepang, yang terakhir dibantu oleh [[Thailand]] dan pada tingkat yang lebih rendah oleh negara sesama [[blok Poros]] seperti [[Nazi Jerman|Jerman]] dan [[Kerajaan Italia (1861–1946)|Italia]].  Pertempuran terdiri dari beberapa [[pertempuran laut]] terbesar dalam sejarah, dan pertempuran yang sangat sengit dan [[kejahatan perang]] di seluruh Asia dan [[Kepulauan Pasifik]], yang mengakibatkan hilangnya nyawa manusia yang sangat besar. Perang terus memuncak dengan terjadinya [[serangan udara di Jepang]], dan [[pengeboman atom di Hiroshima dan Nagasaki]], disertai dengan [[Perang Soviet-Jepang (1945)|Pernyataan perang Uni Soviet terhadap Jepang]], [[invasi Soviet ke Manchuria|invasi Manchuria]] dan wilayah lain pada tanggal 9 Agustus 1945, menyebabkan Jepang mengumumkan niatnya untuk menyerah pada tanggal 15 Agustus 1945. Upacara resmi [[penyerahan Jepang]] berlangsung di atas kapal perang {{USS | Missouri | BB-63 | 6}} di [[Teluk Tokyo]] pada tanggal 2 September 1945. Setelah perang, Jepang kehilangan semua hak dan hak milik bekas [[imperium kolonial Jepang|kepemilikan]] di Asia dan Pasifik, dan kedaulatannya terbatas pada empat pulau utama dan pulau kecil lainnya sebagaimana ditentukan oleh Sekutu. {{Sfn |  Takemae | 2003 | p = 516}}

== Akibat Perang Pasifik ==

Berikut ini adalah beberapa akibat dari Perang Asia Pasifik yang terjadi antara tahun 1937 sampai 1945 ini:
* Kekalahan [[Jepang]] membuatnya kehilangan wilayah jajahannya seperti [[Manchuria]], [[Korea]], [[Asia Tenggara]] dan daerah mandat di [[kepulauan Pasifik]] yang diberikan pada akhir [[Perang Dunia II]].
* Beberapa negara yang sebelumnya dijajah oleh negara-negara [[Eropa]] berhasil memperoleh kemerdekaan seperti [[Indonesia]].Hal ini bisa dikatakan mengakhiri tidak hanya Indonesia namun juga berakhirnya kekuasaan kolonial Jepang atas orang kulit berwarna oleh orang kulit putih.
* Kaisar [[Jepang]] kehilangan statusnya sebagai dewa. [[Amerika Serikat]] sebagai pemenang perang di [[Pasifik]] tidak ingin mengadili [[Hirohito]], kaisar [[Jepang]] saat itu. [[Amerika Serikat]] membutuhkan daerah penyangga (''buffer'') untuk menahan arus pengaruh komunisme karena [[Rusia]] sudah mencapai kawasan timur [[Asia]].
* [[Jepang]] tidak diperbolehkan mempunyai angkatan perang, kecuali pasukan pembela diri.
