The Japanese occupied the Philippines during World War II primarily to expand their empire and secure strategic territory in the Pacific. The occupation began in December 1941, shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, as Japan sought to eliminate American military presence and resources in the region. Control over the Philippines was crucial for Japan's supply lines and to support their broader military campaigns in Southeast Asia. The occupation lasted until 1945 and was marked by significant hardship and suffering for the Filipino population.
