Best Answer

Yes. Madagascar would have been used as a base for Japanese submarines, which were going to carry out raids across the Indian Ocean. It's quite possible that had the Allies failed to take Madagascar, a Japanese version of the German U-Boat campaign in the Battle of the Atlantic would have taken place in the Indian ocean. A second "Battle of the Indian Ocean" could have severed Britain's links with many of its colonies, which would have had a disastrous impact in terms of resources.
