Germany had been moving eastward in North Africa for control of the Suez Canal and the oil fields of Southwest Asia; Japan was moving westward for a hook-up with it's Axis partner in the oil rich region. The Suez Canal would provide the short-cuts when traversing with the newly attained oil riches.
Different Answer: No, the Japanese invaded Burma in 1941 to cutoff supplies from the United States to China, going through Burma. Burma was a British Colony. Both Britain & the United States were supporters of China in its resistance to Japanese aggression in China since 1937. The Japanese Army (which ran the Japanese government) was completely obsessed with the goal of defeating and subjugating China. The Japanese already by 1940 controlled all direct access of Chinese ports, so that China was cutoff by sea and would have to get its supplies over-land from the south (French Indo-China) and southwest (Burma). Earlier supplies from China's supporters had been coming to China from French Indochina (a French colony) until France was defeated by Germany and the Japanese occupied that colony. This forces supplies to China to travel through Burma, from the Port at Rangoon to Kunming, China.
