What were Japan's intentions for World War 2?

Answer 1

To gain control of as much of China, South East Asia, and the Pacific Ocean as possible so that they could force the people living there to produce the raw materials Japan needed for its industries under slave labor conditions.

Answer 2

Due to it's location and size, Japan had to get most of it's industrial raw materials, such as iron ore and petroleum, from other countries. It's primary goal in WWII was to acquire enough land rich in raw materials to be independent from other countries. It's secondary goal was to gain enough territory to form an effective defensive perimeter that would prevent others from retaking the land they had acquired.

Answer 3

The Axis powers were trying to take over other nations. Germany wanted to control Europe, Japan wanted to control the Islands of the Pacific. Allied powers wanted to stop them. -I should add that neither the Japanese or Germans ever had any intention of 'taking over' the USA land or resources, despite what the top poster has stated.

Answer 6

The Japanese objective in World War 2 was to control the natural resources need to maintain Japan as a powerful, self-sufficient empire.
Given the number of armies they sent to invade the various countries, it seems that nothing short of conquest of the Asian countries and Pacific islands was their goal. I know that Hitler once thought it might be possible to link up with Japan at the Suez Canal.
