The Pacific War, sometimes called the Asia–Pacific War, was the theater of World War II that was fought in eastern Asia, the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and Oceania. The UN Security Council ended the vast trusteeship in stages, from 1986 to 1994, with the US gaining the territory of the Northern Mariana Islands.

The Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands is created by the United Nations and placed under the authority of the United States.

Seizure and annexation of South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands by the Soviet Union.

Cession of Japanese-held islands in the Central Pacific Ocean to the United Nations.

Liberation of Korea and Manchuria from Japanese rule, followed by the division of Korea.

Removal of Japanese troops occupying parts of China and the retrocession of Taiwan to China.Substantial weakening of European colonial powers and the gradual decolonization of Asia.The Russian Navy only aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov was scheduled to go on the dry dock at Severodvinsk to begin a four-year upgrade, but due to the hightened tension in Syria it is likely to continue service unchanged, joining the new Mediterranean Task Force the Russian Navy is deploying to the Mediterranean sea. Russia’s only Mediterranean naval base is at the Syrian port of Tartus. Moscow has been reinforcing its Mediterranean presence as the conflict in Syria has worsened. In March, warships from Russia’s Pacific Fleet entered the Mediterranean for the first time in decades to become part of what Moscow says is a permanent task force. That task force also includes vessels from the Northern, Baltic, and Black Sea fleets. This ambitious refit is now cut short, enabling the vessel to redeploy, responding to heightened tension in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Pushing back the refit seems to be a blow to the Navy, as the ‘Kuznetzov’ is already considered a ‘goulag’ for seamen, due to appalling living conditions on board.

Upgrades to the ship’s electronics and sensor equipment were also planned, along with the installation of the new anti-aircraft system. Admiral Kuznetsov was scheduled for a relaunch in 2017. The air wing currently operating Su-33 fighters would expand, and convert to modern MiG-29K jets. The overhaul to be carried out by the Severodvinsk Sevmash shipyard would include the removal of the P-700 Granit anti-ship missiles, installing of catapults to the angled deck, and upgrading of the vessel’s powerplants. The Russian Navy sought to replace the P-700 Granite anti-ship missiles with catapults, more hangars and new air defense systems, enabling the carrier to operate with more aircraft (MiG-29K fighters would have replaced the current Su-33s.)
