	Pacific War Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pacific War Council was an inter-governmental body established in 1942 and intended to control the Allied war effort in the Pacific and Asian campaigns of World War II.
		Following the establishment of the short-lived American-British-Dutch-Australian military command (ABDACOM) in January 1942, the governments of Australia, the Netherlands and New Zealand began to push Winston Churchill for an inter-governmental war council based in Washington D.C. The Far Eastern Council was established in London on February 9, with a corresponding staff council in Washington.
		The Pacific War Council was formed in Washington on April 1, 1942, with a membership consisting of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, his key advisor Harry Hopkins, and representatives from Britain, China, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Canada.

	Pacific War
		The Pacific War (1937-45) is not to be confused with the War of the Pacific (1879-84) in South America.
		The roots of the war began in the late 19th century with China in political chaos and Japan rapidly modernizing.
		Midway was the turning-point of the naval war in the Pacific theatre.

	World War I - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The defeat of Germany in the war and failure to resolve the unsettled issues that had caused the Great War would lay the basis for the rise of Nazism, and thus the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
		The common view was that it would be a short war of manoeuvre with a few sharp actions (to "teach the enemy a lesson") and would end with a victorious entry into the capital (the enemy capital, naturally) then home for a victory parade or two and back to "normal" life.
		Dissatisfaction with the Russian government's conduct of the war grew despite the success of the June 1916 Brusilov offensive in eastern Galicia against the Austrians, when Russian success was undermined by the reluctance of other generals to commit their forces in support of the victorious sector commander.

	Pacific War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pacific War, which is known in Japan as the Greater East Asia War and in China as the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression ( kang-Ri zhanzheng, literally "Resist Japan War"), occurred in the Pacific Ocean, its islands, and in Asia.
		Towards the end of the war as the role of strategic bombing became more important, a new command for the U.S. Strategic Air Forces in the Pacific was created to oversee all US strategic bombing in the hemisphere, under USAAF General Carl Spaatz.
		Its declaration of war did not occur until August 8, which was 3 months to the day from the end of the war in Europe so fulfilling the USSR's obligation to the other Allies.

	United States Strategic Bombing Survey: Summary Report (Pacific War)
		The final decision to enter the war and to advance into the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, Malaya, Burma and to the southeast was, however, made with the full concurrence and active consent of all important Japanese Army and Navy leaders and of almost all her important civilian leaders.
		Had the war continued, and had the raw material situation been such as to warrant their restoration, it is estimated that the dockyard could have been in a position to produce at 80 percent of its full capacity within 3 to 4 months; that the steel works would.
		The Pacific war was unique in many respects, as was the European war, and great reservation should be used in assuming that what was effective or not effective under those circumstances would be similarly effective at other times and under different circumstances.

	Kazutoshi Hando, The Pacific War Research Society, Japan's Longest Day (Tokyo: Kodansha International, Ltd., 1968), pp. ...
		This Supreme War Council--or "inner Cabinet"--consisted of Japan's Big Six: the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of War, the Minister of the Navy, and the chiefs of the General Staffs of both the Army and the Navy.
		The Council had been in session for two hours, and although word had arrived of the bombing of Nagasaki and of the fact that Manchuria, for all practical purposes, was in Soviet hands, the Council was still not able to reach an agreement.
		The visitors were the War Minister, General Anami, and Baron Hiranuma, the President of the Privy Council, who had come to a last-minute agreement on their desire to see the American note rejected and their belief that the weakest link in the chain around the Throne was the Prime Minister himself.

	V-J Day: Remembering the Pacific War
		The Japanese held their World War II conquests for fewer than four years, and all of these were years of global war, so it is not really fair to compare their record of colonial rule in these countries with those of the West.
		The result, of course, was the establishment of a reactionary dictatorship in the south, leading to civil war in the south and then war/civil war with the north with casualties in the millions.
		Thus Kishi Nobusuke, a class A war criminal who served as vice minister of Industry and Commerce in 1930s and vice minister of Munitions during the war (a sort of Japanese Albert Speer) was released and later became an enthusiastic pro-American prime minister.
