Japan wanted a sphere of influence in Asia,and wanted to show the European powers that had colonies there (British, Dutch, French, etc)that a new "era" had dawned and that the Asian people were not going to accept Western rule. That was the most promulgated Propaganda used. The major reason was more economic based as Japan was in great need for raw materials (as Japan was poor in this area). Japan was especially lacking in petroleum and SE Asia also provided rubber, rice, and a market to sell finished goods to.
The Japanese attacked southeast Asia because they needed the Natural Resources that were available there in order to prosecute their war in China and expand their sphere if influence in the western Pacific. Tis was triggered in part by a US oil embargo against Japan.

∙ 14y agoLike all wars, World War 2 was fought for economic reasons. Japan was an ally of Germany. Indochina was a colony of France and supplied raw materials to France. France was Germany's enemy. Japan needed raw materials. France would not let Japan have any raw materials from Indochina. If Japan attacked Indochina, then Japan could have the raw materials from Indochina while keeping them from France.

∙ 12y agothey didn't want to attack other countries as in dozens. they were part of the Berlin-rome-tokio axis , and being part of an alliance ment that they would have their back secured, supposedly, and took advantgae of this to try and make their own territories out of other neighboring countries in that part of Asia, just like Germany did in Europe. the fact that the Nazis and the guineas couldn't and probably didn't want to give them any military support was because that Europe was thousands of miles away from japan
