The overall Japanese plan was very complicated. They were attacking in five widely separated areas, and all were to commence just as soon as the attack on Hawaii was under way. These included the naval air attack on Hawaii, an invasion of the Philippines, two invasions in southeast Asia, and an attack on Wake Island. Wake Island was a US possession and, unlike Hawaii, the Japanese intended to land troops and capture and hold the island.
