Important Context from World History: Under Emperor Hirohito, the Japanese army invaded numerous Asian countries, including China and the Phillippines. The Japanese military committed horrible war crimes that resulted in the deaths of millions of people. Historians estimate the death count to range from 3-14 million people who died from massacre, human experimentation, starvation, and forced labor that was either directly perpetrated or condoned by the Japanese military and government.

So when you hear about the "War in the Pacific," it is specifically about American efforts to fight against Japanese imperialism and its military invasion of mainland Asia at this time period.
