How did the geography of Japan affect world war 2

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Japan is located on a chain of islands called an

archipelago. It is made up of four main islands and

thousands of smaller ones. The terrain is mountainous,

which means there is not a lot of good land for farming.

Because of the geography, the Japanese relied on the

sea for many aspects of daily life. Trade with China

and Korea became important to get the resources

they needed.
