A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on September 9, 2004. |
This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
Lack of Australian mention
The Dutch and British have their numbers listed, when more Australians fought in the pacific than both countries combined over 800k Australians served during the war. It’s typical due to general McArthur refusing to acknowledge Australian soldiers victories. But you’d think with the thousands of sources indicating Australia’s massive involvement in this theatre, we would be represented much more 2001:8003:E80B:5701:96F:3:C21A:D770 (talk) 12:42, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Attitudes Towards the Enemy
I have added a section to shed light on the attitudes that each participant in the war held towards their enemy as I was surprised that there was little mention of this on the page. I have only written about American attitudes however as this is the only side which I know enough about to write on, but I was hoping that someone more knowledgeable than me on Japanese social history could write a section on the Japanese attitudes, and it time more sections can be added for other participants such as China, Australia etc. Rhinocerous777 (talk) 09:11, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- While I do feel there can be a place for a section on this topic, I also feel that this section can only be included if it covers Japanese attitudes as well. Either someone should immediately add a subsection on Japanese attitudes, or the whole section should be removed for the time being and later reinstated when it includes a Japanese subsection.104.228.9.173 (talk) 13:37, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
