Japan does not have oil or mineral ore resources on their island. They attacked China to take their resources. That is basically what World War 2 was about in the Pacific Theater. They were going after many nations that had what they needed. They bombed Pearl Harbor to keep the US from coming after them when they went to the Dutch East Indies to steal their oil.
