The goal of the American campaign against the Japanese in the Pacific during World War II was to defeat Japan and halt its aggressive expansion across Asia and the Pacific. This involved a strategy of "island hopping," where American forces aimed to capture key islands, establish military bases, and cut off Japanese supply lines. Ultimately, the campaign sought to reclaim territories occupied by Japan and pave the way for an invasion of the Japanese mainland, leading to Japan's unconditional surrender. The campaign also aimed to restore stability and security in the Pacific region.

During World War I, Japan began seizing German colonies in the Pacific. Following the outbreak of war in 1914, Japan declared war on Germany and quickly captured German-held territories, including the Mariana, Caroline, and Marshall Islands, as well as the German leased territory of Shandong in China. This expansion was part of Japan's broader strategy to assert its influence in the region.

Japan and China
In addition to China, Japan aimed to expand its empire to include Korea, Taiwan, and parts of Southeast Asia, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Japan sought to establish itself as a dominant power in the Asia-Pacific region, driven by a desire for resources, markets, and strategic territory. Additionally, the Philippines and other Pacific islands were considered potential territories as Japan pursued imperial ambitions.
