'pacific battle's fine mostly from one point of view' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'fine mostly from one point of view' is the wordplay.
'fine' becomes 'ok' (synonyms).
'mostly' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the word).
'from one point of view' becomes 'in a way' (both can mean considered in a certain way).
'inaway' with its final letter removed is 'inawa'.
'ok'+'inawa'='OKINAWA'

Can you help me to learn more?
