Japanese expansion in East Asia began in 1931 with the invasion of Manchuria and continued in 1937 with a brutal attack on China. Japan signed the Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy, thus entering the military alliance known as the "Axis."
The turning point in the Pacific war came with the American naval victory in the Battle of Midway in June 1942. The Japanese fleet sustained heavy losses and was turned back. On August 6, 1945, the United States Air Force dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Tens of thousands of people died in the initial explosion, and many more died later from radiation exposure. Three days later, the United States dropped a bomb on the Japanese city of Nagasaki. Approximately 120,000 civilians died as a result of the two blasts. On August 8, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and invaded Japanese-occupied Manchuria.
Outcome:
After Japan agreed to surrender on August 14, 1945, American forces began to occupy Japan. Japan formally surrendered to the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union on September 2, 1945.

Would the outcome of World War 2 have been different if the allies had decided to divide the focus of their war effort equally between Europe and the pacific?
It's possible that a more balanced focus on both the European and Pacific theaters could have altered the outcome of World War II. Diverting resources equally might have prolonged the conflict in both regions, potentially allowing Axis powers to consolidate or regain momentum. However, the Allies' eventual victory in Europe and the Pacific was largely due to their industrial capacity, strategic decisions, and the distinct nature of each theater, suggesting that a divided focus might not have significantly changed the ultimate outcome.
