Really not until 1944. There had been fighting in the Solomon Islands in 1942-3, and in the Gilbert Islands in late 1943. Also on New Guinea in 1943.
Only about fifteen per cent of the US war effort went into the Pacific, because the US was committed to a strategy, with Great Britain, of defeating "Germany first". The Pacific War was carried on largely by the US Navy, with its six divisions of Marines, plus about fifteen US Army divisions, and a small portion of the US Army Air Force.
The Allied landings at Normandy in France on June 6, 1944, are remembered today as "the largest amphibious assault of all time". Whats not often remembered is that nine days after the Normandy landings, halfway around the world, another amphibious attack almost as big began the US conquest of the Mariana Islands, Saipan, Tinian and Guam. By that point the US had reached peak strength on the sea, in the air and on land, and was beginning the final push to victory.

Why did Germany start sinking American ships in World War 1?
Germany began sinking American ships during World War I primarily due to its policy of unrestricted submarine warfare. This strategy aimed to blockade Britain and weaken its supply lines, as Germany sought to cut off resources to its enemy. The sinking of American vessels, including the Lusitania in 1915, heightened tensions between the U.S. and Germany, ultimately contributing to the U.S. decision to enter the war in 1917. Germany hoped to defeat the Allies before American troops could significantly impact the conflict.
