Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Japan referred to its efforts to expand its influence in the Pacific as the Greater Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere. The idea was to create an economic and political bloc led by Japan that would dominate the region and ensure the prosperity of all its members. This concept underpinned Japan's expansionist policies in the 1930s and led to conflicts with the Allies, who saw it as an attempt to create a Japanese Empire.
