At the beginning of World War II, control of the Pacific was largely held by Japan. Following its aggressive expansion in the 1930s, Japan had established dominance over significant territories, including parts of China and various islands in the Pacific. The United States, while having a considerable naval presence, was initially focused on isolationism and was not fully prepared for conflict in the region until Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. This event marked a pivotal shift, leading the U.S. to actively engage in the Pacific theater.

Hungary was occupied by Hitler at the beginning of WWII.
In WWII? That would have been Germany.After WWII, the US, Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union controlled it.
The Pacific Theater (aka Pacific War) was the naval half of WWII. Although all portions of WWII had naval battles, the Pacific was the Pacific, as the name implies...an ocean. Secondly, General MacArthur reasoned that since a battleship (USS Arizona) started WWII for the US, it seemed appropiate to end it that way.
