Immediately following the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, Imperial Japan launched several invasions and assaults on European and American colonial and imperialist provinces across the Pacific Islands and Eastern Asia.
Japan’s Empire was, however, overextended, outmanned, and facing deteriorating supplies, making it essential for them to acquire new lands for their resources and to recruit troops from their occupied territories.
This would allow them to create a buffer between them and the Japanese Islands, and continue their expansion efforts across the Pacific and Asian continent to maintain their pressure on the Asian colonies of Britain, the Netherlands, Australia, France, New Zealand, and the United States.
