Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Japan's actions in the Pacific were driven by a desire to establish what they called the Greater Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere. This was a term used by the Japanese government to describe their vision for an economic and cultural bloc of Asian nations under Japanese leadership. The idea was to create a zone of influence for Japan that would include China, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. However, this expansionism ultimately led to conflict with the Allied powers and Japan's defeat in World War II.
