Japan had been in open war with China since July 1937 and was continuing occasional advances against Chinese resistance. ‘Japan expands its war with China’ describes how German victories in the West in early 1940 suggested an opportunity to close off much of China's outside aid. In July 1941, Japanese forces occupied the southern part of French Indo-China, moving away from war with China to prepare attacks on territories controlled by the Netherlands, Britain, and the United States in East and Southeast Asia as well as the South Pacific. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbour in December 1941 brought the United States fully into the war, in both the Pacific and in Europe.

In the 21st century South Asia Pacific region will have great attention from the world. Geographical, social, economic and political in the South Pacific region influence on how the leaders of island nations take a stand on global issues, especially the issues that threaten their existence as sovereign states. This paper tries to explain how the efforts made by the leaders in the South Pacific is more focused on issues of non-traditional security, especially the efforts to minimize the impact caused by nuclear radiation, as a result of nuclear weapon test conducted by countries like the United States and France. With the concept of Balance of Power, this paper attempts to review on how the small countries in the South Pacific region established alliances as a form of rejection of nuclear weapon testing in the South Pacific as well as on how effective their efforts to build the South Pacific region as one of the nuclear free zones in the world.The rejection of the South Pacific community against all forms of nuclear testing mainly carried out by the United States, British and also France is not as a kind of effort which is further than the balance of power. However, it is more closely referred as a political means to demonstrate their existence to the world, that they are parts of the world's population who have right that deserves to be rewarded and aligned with the rest of the world. Principally, there are three effects due to radiation which can directly affect to the human body: 1). The cells will die, 2). the multiplication of the cells that can eventually lead to cancer cells, and 3). The damage can occur in the egg or testis which will trigger the process of deformed babies in the womb.
