That should be required reading for all Americans.In the 1930s and 1940s, Japan seemed intent on colonizing all of Asia. It seized vast swathes of land and numerous islands; Korea was already under its control, but it added Manchuria, coastal China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Singapore, Malaya (Malaysia), Thailand, New Guinea, Brunei, Taiwan... Japanese attacks even reached to Australia in the south, the US territory of Hawaii in the east, the Aleutian Islands of Alaska in the north, and as far west as British India in the Kohima campaign.
What motivated a formerly reclusive island nation to go on such a rampage?
Why Was Japan So Aggressive in World War II?
