No, the island of Cuba it's one of the Caribbean islands so it is part of the Caribbean Sea and accordingly part of the Atlantic Ocean not the Pacific Ocean. The island is Located south of the US State of Florida and Bahamas, east of Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico), north of Jamaica ad Cayman Islands and west of Haiti.
There is a theory however which states that the region where Cuba is located, the "Caribbean Plate" formed in the Pacific Ocean millions of years ago and then due to plates shifting, the plate moved eastward being enclosed overtime by the isthmus of Panama and losing connection with the Pacific.

In what year did Germany and Italy become allies during World War 2?
Germany has existed in many forms, the earliest government directly associated with Germanic people was the Holy Roman Empire (962CE). This confederation of states existed in many forms until 1806. The states fell apart but were mostly reunified by 1871.
The period between 1914 and 1949 is complex and beyond the scope of a simple answer. After WWII, the Soviets and the USA spit the 'protection' of Germany into halves. The Federal Republic of 1949 is usually viewed as the government of Germany since the Soviet half was a puppet state. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the destruction of the Berlin Wall Germany was reunified. This most Recent incarnation of Germany started the 3rd of October 1990.
Italy also has a long history. The earliest recordings show a government around the 8th century BCE. This was the roots of what would become the Great Roman Empire. After much turmoil, the empire finally dissolved in 285CE.
Over the next millennium and a half Italy existed as a broken assembly of city-states. These states were conquered and reformed by outsiders and neighbors. In 1816 Italy began a process of reunification through politics and ultimately war with the Austrian Empire. The kingdom of Italy officially came into existence in 1861.
After the chaos of WWII the Italian people adopted a democratic form of government. The last king of Italy, Umberto II, abdicated 12 June 1946 starting the present Republic of Italy.

Did women have freedom in Japan?
Japanese women had plenty of freedom during the time of Price Shotoku, they were able to own property, had a high influence to society, and many of them were rulers. However, after Japan became a fighting based country, women had no freedom, they had to obey their father, husband, and son. They also had to take care of the home, children, make food, pottery, and clothes as well. So... women did have freedom at one point but it faded away.
What do people in Japan value?
Judaism in Japan is not endemic to Japan, that is to say that there have never been communities of Japanese people (ethnically East Asian) who have been Jews or practiced Judaism in a profoundly Japanese way. As a result, most Jews who are in Japan (in the cities of Tokyo and Kobe) are European Ashkenazi Jews who moved to Japan in the last 150 years after Japan was opened to the West. The beliefs of those Jews did not change when they moved to their new home. See the related question below for a discussion about Jewish beliefs.
This is not to say that endemic Oriental Judaism (that is the proper term for it) does not have its own flavors. The Jews of Kaifeng (Chinese Jews), the Jews of Puna and Goa (Indian Jews), and the Jews of the Steppes (Central Asian Jews) all have unique cultural aspects. However, the core beliefs even of these endemic communities were and continue to be the same as those in the more established Occidental Jewish communities.

What was the turning point battle of the war against Japan?

What was the main reason that japan attacked the US?
first answer:
OIL! The common reason for many wars. The US had placed an oil embargo on Japan because they had invaded Manchuria (and elsewhere if I remember right) to get their oil. The US wanted them to leave China and continue to buy oil from them and other nations. The Japanese wanted not only oil they wanted other natural resources and ores their country did not have. They decided they would get oil from the Dutch East Indies. They did not want the USN Fleet to go after them when they did. So they chose to bomb the USN fleet that was in the harbor in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This incited the Congress to declare war on Japan.
my answer:
No, the real reason for Japan's attack (on the US, the British Empire & the Dutch) was the Japanese Army's obsession with their on-going brutal conquest of China. The United States had been taking diplomatic and economic steps against Japan for several years to convince (or force) the Japanese to end their war of conquest in Asia. The Japanese Army actually controlled the Japanese Government since the early 1930's. The Japanese Army refused to end its war of conquest & extreme brutality in China.
Beyond China, the Japanese Army had plans to take advantage of the weakness of the British, French, Dutch & Soviet Union in Asia because of Hitler's conquests in Europe. The Japanese wanted to be free of American interference, and create a vast Asian empire that would have eventually included China, eastern Siberia, Mongolia, Korea, Formosa, Indo-China, Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Philippines, Guam, Wake Island, & New Guinea; and possibly India.

In what battle was it where japan was first defeated?
Guadalcanal. However, it was a six month long battle...with many US losses, then finally a US win. Contrary to popular belief; Guadalcanal wasn't simply a land fight...it was a series of NAVAL battles, in which the US Navy suffered about the same, if not more losses than the Japanese Navy did. Had the USN lost the naval battle, the US Marines on the island would have starved and ran out of ammunition, ultimately losing the ground war on Guadalcanal. As it was, the Japanese ARMY starved and ran of ammunition...and ultimately lost the ground war. However, instead of being wiped out or surrendering (which wasn't going to happen)...they evacuated the island(s), and were transported to other garrisons to continue the war. They were transported by high speed warships (destroyers) under cover of darkness.
How was Japan's influence in China different from other countries' affects on China?
Once you can identify basic differences, it'll become easier for you to distinguish between the two.
1st- If you look closely at their faces, you can tell the difference. Japanese people tend to have oval-shaped faces with more prominent noses, lower cheekbones, and more downward angled eyes. Chinese people tend to have rounder faces with more upward angled eyes.
2nd- Much of the pop culture difference comes from the difference between the governments of the two countries. China has a communist government and economy, which makes it a much less consumer-based society. Japan, in contrast, has a booming capitalist system that feeds its citizens' desires to be enriched and entertained.
3rd- Because China is a communist country, most Chinese embrace atheism. Religious believers in China are often persecuted so religious ceremonies and meetings are typically carried out in private. Japanese people tend to be far more religious, following both Buddhist and Shinto belief systems.
How were Korea and Japan influenced by Chinese culturla aspects and ideas?

The Allied demand of both these states to surrender unconditionally made surrender less palatable than might have otherwise been the case. There is no room whatever for negiotiation. Hindsight is a wonderful thing to behold......
Germany and Japan fought on for many reasons, many fought for duty, many fought to hide their crimes, many fought fanatically out of loyalty to the respective leaders of those countries.
Germany especially fought fanatically because of Goebbels propaganda of what would happen to Germany if they surrendered, the conduct of the Red Army when it reached German soil somewhat vindicated this propaganda, Also,Nazi Germany was absolutist, anybody even suspected of cowardice or desertion, or speaking out against the regime or even anybody who muttered the word surrender, were brutally put down.
