Question

Why did japan want to seize the pacific island?

Answer 1

Because it was a strategic maniobra of japan.

By 1894 it was strong enough to challenge the weak and aging chinese empire. In july of that year Japanese naval guns fired on Chinese ships without warning.

For the next fifty years Japan's conquest and absorption of Asia and the pacific islands has continued. Step by step with me out to consolidate the gains and gather strength for the next move.

 

Answer 2

Japan wanted more land and resources, for the more resources you have, the more you can expand and have "new" things
