Japan played a large part in World War II. It attacked most its neighboring countries in Asia and was an ally of Nazi Germany. Japan also caused the United States to enter the war by attacking Pearly Harbor and killing 2,403 US service members and 68 civilians.
Guam, Philippines, Hong Kong, most of China, part of New Guinea, Tarawa, Truk, Okinawa, Taiwan, some islands in the Aleutian Islands (Alaska), Guadalcanal, French Indo-China, Java, Celebes, Borneo, Caroline Islands, Iwo Jima, and many other countless tiny islands throughout the Pacific Ocean. Of course some were taken before war had started and all these territories were lost when Japan surrendered.
