Why hades called the god of death?
Hades is MISTAKENLY called the God of Death, when Kronos died his kingdom was split into four parts: The Sky, The Oceans and Seas, The Earth and The Underworld. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades challenged each other for who should rule which part. Zeus won and chose the sky, Poseidon came second and chose the seas, and Hades was left with the Underworld. The earth was then left for the goddesses to tend.
The Underworld is where the living go when they die. Because Hades rules the underworld he is referred to as the God of the Dead, However, in actual fact it is Thanatos who is the God of Death and NOT Hades
Are there any towns in the US named hades?

Additionally, there are other places with similar names, but they are typically unincorporated communities or localities rather than officially recognized towns.

Hades was the god of the underworld in ancient Greek beliefs. Because the Greco-Roman polytheistic (meaning they believed in multiple gods) beliefs are considered pagan, Hades was one of many gods of a pagan religion. Hades along with his brothers Zeus and Poseidon were responsible for the defeat of the Titans, and so took the rights to rule the underworld (Hades), air (Zeus) and sea (Poseidon).

Why did Hades force Persaphone to marry him?
Hades didn't force Persephone to marry him.
Zeus (Persephone's Father) promised her hand in marriage to Hades, but he neglected to inform both Persephone and Demeter (Persephone's Mother) of this. Hades came to claim his bride, which turned into an abduction because Persephone didn't know about it.
She was very mad and upset at him for a very long time, but I do believe that she eventually warmed up to him (since due to the eating of pomegranate seeds she spends half of the year with him), and I think she did marry him of her own accord.

Did hades have to take care of Cerberus?
According to myth, Cerberus was one of the immortal spawn of Typhon and Echidna. As such, while the lore does not specify one way or another, it is unlikely he required much in the way of care and feeding. Lucky for him too. Considering that Hades had to kidnap Demeter's daughter to find a wife, he doesn't strike me as the nurturing type. So amusing as the image of a grumbling god of death wearing a gas mask and carrying a humongous shovel to do his unpleasant duty may be, the mythology treats the beast more as a feature of the underworld than a charge of Hades.
The monster's association with Hades is in the role of guardian to the the land of the dead. His exclusive appetite for living flesh made him ideal for this role, as he would allow the dead to enter unmolested. Of course, with a few notable exceptions, he would not allow anyone to leave.
What pact did the big three Greek gods make after World War 2?
Unfortunately, this question makes no sense. There were no Greek gods associated with World War II. There hasn't been a tradition about any Greek gods since well before the middle ages, a couple millennia ago; WWII, on the hand, happened in modernity, less than 6 decades ago.
The "Big Three," in reference to Greek gods, means Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. They have nothing at all to do with WWII.
In reference to WWII, the "Big Three" means the UK, USSR, and US. They made a pact during the war, along with China and many smaller Allied nations, to unite against the Axis powers of Germany, Japan, and Italy. The Allied powers came to be known as the United Nations. The UN Charter was signed while the war was still ongoing, but it wasn't ratified until after the war ended -- this may be the "pact" to which this question refers.

Hades and Persephone are King and Queen of the Underworld, that being the dwelling place of the dead: they, however, were both firmly immortals.

What is hades punishment to humans?
Hades has infinite punishments for humans that have done wrong in their life. There are some special punishments for those who have gone to extremes. For example, Sisyphus was doomed to rolling a huge bolder up a hill, and right before he was going to reach the top of the hill, the bolder rolled back down and he had to start over again. Tantalus is another example. He stood chin deep in water and juicy red fruits hung over his head tantalizingly. Every time he bent down to drink, the water receded, and every time he reached up to pick a fruit the branches moved up just out of his reach. As for regular sinful people, there are so many different punishments, but most are whipped by the furies.
