The Japanese started the world war because of several reasons. There is a lot of different things such as Japan being an aristocrat country. they were ruled with people such as emperors and rich people. You know what I mean.... Anyway, the Americans cut off the supply of oil and iron that the Japanese used to kill more Chinese. This is how the United States got involved with the war.

The Philippines were also involved because the USA army controlls the Philippines...

-Actually, most of that is true except for the last part about the Philippines. Yes, the Philippines was under US Army control/influence, but the Japanese's main reason for attacking the country was because of its oil reserves. Because of America's embargo on Japan, Japan was short on oil. They were using 10x more oil than they could produce a year. Japan invaded the Philippines mostly for its resources.
