Why did Japanese invade the Solomon islands?

To shore up their flank against the U.S. Navy. Basically, the causation follows the general expansion of defensive perimeter following Japan's invasion of islands further North and West. This was in order to protect it's land campaigns in Asia from Allied forces across the pacific. All of this, in turn, was in order to eventually control the sources of coal in China and Southeast Asia, and the eventual conquest of that region. Wikipedia covers it in more detail with material excerpted from noted printed texts.

How did japan justify its invasion of machuria?

Japan justified its invasion of Manchuria in 1931 through a combination of economic and security arguments. They claimed that the region was necessary for Japan's expansion to secure resources and markets for its growing population. Additionally, Japan asserted that it was acting to protect the lives and property of Japanese citizens in Manchuria, particularly following the Mukden Incident, which they portrayed as a pretext for military intervention. This invasion was framed as a civilizing mission to bring stability and order to a region they claimed was in chaos.

What actions did Japan take that upset the league of nations and discuss the reasons for their actions?

Japan upset the League of Nations by invading Manchuria in 1931 and subsequently withdrawing from the League in 1933 after its actions were condemned. The invasion was driven by Japan's desire for natural resources and territorial expansion, as well as its belief in the need for a greater Asian empire. Japan's actions reflected its growing militarism and dissatisfaction with the international order, which it felt marginalized its interests. The League's failure to effectively address Japan's aggression highlighted its weaknesses and contributed to rising tensions in the region.

Why did the US feel they needed to invade Okinawa?

Okinawa is very close to Japan. The Allies expected to have to invade Japan, and as part of that, needed the airfield on Okinawa in order for aircraft- especially bombers- to be able to assist in the planned invasion. However, the battle was so incredibly fierce and bloody that it helped convince American leaders that an invasion of Japan itself would be too costly for both sides. This was one of the factors that led to the Americans dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombings, along with Soviets invading Manchuria and easily destroying Japan's largest and most powerful army, caused Japan to surrender, thereby ending World War II.
