During World War II, the Empire of Japan played a significant role.

The war began with


Japan’s invasion of the Republic of China and the subsequent annexation of French

Pearl Harbor in 1941 achieved complete surprise and success, but the U.S. fleet was rebuilt
swiftly, and Japan’s ambitious plans faced challenges.
