The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, because the US cut off their oil supply. And the bombing, is also a factor that led to WWI.
The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor for many reasons. One reason was because they wanted to have power. The Japanese already occupied China during the Spanish-American War. America didn't want to acknowledge their authority because America occupied the Philippines. Also, Japan along with the other Axis countries wanted itself to gain world domination by military force. Another reason for the bombing of Pearl Harbor was due to the fact that Japan needed Natural Resources like oil in order to expand. There were many other factors that led Japan to bombing, too.
The Japanese first attacked the Philippines, a few hours after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, on December 8, 1941 (Philippines time).
Yes they attack the Phillipines in a series of attacks against the British and American colonies in and around the Phillipines which was occupied by the British. This is what lead to the peak of Japanese occupation of the Pacific
Japan wanted to have control over most of the world, and in order to do that they needed to attack the Indies, Malaya, and the Philippines; no one ever thought they would attack the U.S.
Japan chose to attack Pearl Harbor for several reasons: first, to neutralize the U.S. Pacific Fleet, which posed a threat to Japanese expansion in Southeast Asia. Second, the attack aimed to buy time for Japan to consolidate its territorial gains and resources, particularly in the context of rising tensions with the United States over its expansionist policies. Lastly, Japan sought to demonstrate its military strength and resolve, hoping to deter American intervention in its regional ambitions.
At the time, the Philippines were a US possession that was scheduled to receive full independence in 1946. Nevertheless, the Philippines were a base for US armed forces and would have to be neutralized once Japan had decided to attack Pearl Harbor. So they had to invade the Philippines to prevent their use by the US as a base for attacking them.
The US would have still gone to war; Japan also attacked the Philippines.
Yes
For government reasons mostly and they wanted to claim Hawaii.
Attack the Philippines instead
Immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Japan launched an assault on the U.S. territory of the Philippines. The Japanese aimed to quickly incapacitate American military presence in the Pacific, and the Philippines were strategically important due to their location. The attack on the Philippines marked the beginning of a brutal campaign that would lead to the fall of Manila and significant loss of life.
because war = money therefore, more war = more money.
Japan is bigger than Philippines.
Officially the US thought the Philippines might be the target.
Japan is South-West of the Philippines.
The attack was treacherous for many reasons. The United States was engaged with Japan in negotiations over the war effort. The attack was unprovoked and was unexpected.
