Before Pearl Harbor they had conquered a large part of China and essentially enslaved the population. After Pearl Harbor they invaded South East Asia and conquered everything as far west as Burma, almost into India itself. They also took most of the islands nations of the Pacific, almost reaching Australia. They did that remarkably fast, in just about six months. That was as far as they could go though. They did not have the strength to occupy all of that territory and still gain more ground. After that they were on the defensive and gradually got pushed back. By 1945 they could not even defend their home islands. Michael Montagne
