During WWII the Japanese wanted to rule the whole world under there banner. To do this they planned on invading the United States of America. They had two routes. The Pacific Islands close to them, and the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

The Philippines were a key staging and launching point for troops and supplies The idea was to take over the islands and work there way down to Australia and use that as a staging point to invade the United States.
