The "Kamikaze" (translation: "divine wind) were a unit of the Imperial Japanese Air Force in WWII, formed as suicide squads late in the war and who flew their aircraft into Allied ships in order to wreak as much destruction as possible, hoping to halt the US invasion of the Japanese held islands in the Pacific Theater of operations.
A ship route along the Arctic coast of Canada and Alaska, joining the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. French explores were hoping the Northwest Passage linked the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through North America.
The Gallipoli Campaign, which took place during World War I from 1915 to 1916, was an Allied operation aimed primarily at securing a sea route to Russia and capturing the Ottoman capital, Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul). The campaign involved British, Australian, New Zealand, and French forces attacking the Gallipoli Peninsula, hoping to open up a new front against the Central Powers. Ultimately, the Allies sought to weaken the Ottoman Empire and relieve pressure on the Eastern and Western Fronts. However, the campaign ended in a costly defeat for the Allies, with significant loss of life and little strategic gain.
Short answer........... The WW2 in the Pacific happened because Japan attacked the US naval base in Pearl Harbour. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor to try and strong arm the US out of the Pacific. They wanted to search the Pacific for oil. They were hoping we would run and Hawaii would be left to them. Not very smart.
