=__** Japan's Role in World War II  **__=

__** ﻿ ﻿ **__ ===For Japan the war began when they began running low on resources. With a common past of taking from your neighbor, it was no surprise when Japan started attacking China to gain more materials. However, when America saw this blood shed they didn't understand and quickly shut off all triad with the country in a vain hope to stop the violence. This only made the Japanese grew more desperate and infuriated however and causing the country to attack China even more demandingly. Unknowingly as the American's refusal to triad tightened the Japanese saw America as a threat and looked upon Pearl Harbor and the bases in the Philippines as the only things holding them back from what they wanted from China. So with out a word they began to plot. "You cannot invade the mainland Untied States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."- Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto exclaimed. Unquestionable they decided to attack Pearl Harbor and the Philippines. And by December 7, 1941 the horrible day came when Pearl Harbor and the Philippines were attacked. And March 1942 the Japanese had succeeded in conquring all the islands in the Phillipines. This however wasn't the best idea because as the Allies' power grew the Japanese realized they couldn't defend every island all at once causing them to loose many battles, including the battle of Midway. Battle after battle was fought with fireboming, island hoping and thousands and thousands of people dying until finally on August 14-15 1945. Ending the long waring between us.===
