It didn't. Japan invaded New Guinea on 23 January 1942, but Australian and US troops, with much help from the Papua New Guinean natives, managed to repel the invasion.
Why did the US want the Soviet Union to take part in the invasion of japan?
Because back then Japan was an ally to Hitler's Germany, and an enemy of the allies. the soviet union was allied with the allies, and the US needed some help due to skimpy troops and supplies to the pacific islands. This was before the A-bomb was available and US wanted the Japs to have to fight on two fronts, as the coming invasion of Japan by the US was expected to meet with suicidal resistance and cost many thousands of American lives.
What was the first front the Americans fought in World War 2?
American troops were first mobilized in the Pacific in 1942 after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Then Hitler declared war on the U.S after we went to war with Japan, leading to the invasion of France in 1944. Hope this helps. :)
