The United States in World War Two had 48 states & several territories. Alaska & Hawaii were territories and would become states later. No enemy country actually invaded any of the 48 states during the Second World War. However the Japanese did invade & seize the following US territories: Philippines & Guam. These territories were seized after the Japanese defeated the US Military forces that were stationed there. Also the Japanese invaded & seized two remote, unpopulated & undefended islands (Attu & Kiska) in the Aleutian Island chain of Alaska. The Japanese attacked Hawaii, but did not invade. The Japanese attacked the US base at (populated) Dutch Harbor, Alaska, but did not invade. The Japanese invaded & seized the US island possession (not territory) of Wake. The island was defended by the US military and had US civilians on the island as well. The Japanese sent submarines to the US west coast to attack the US mainland (California) by shelling and by launching a small seaplane to bomb the US. Also the Japanese sent unmanned balloons with firebombs to land in the forests of the US states of Washington & Oregon. This was an unsuccessful attempt to burn the forests.
