The Japanese unleashed a suprise attack taking much territory in the coming weeks of their campaign seizing territory owned by french, britian, and the US all across south east asia. Places like Vietnam, Korea, etc.
The battle of the Coral sea was a new kind of warfare because it introduced Carrier versus Carrier engagements by the use of torpedo and bomber aircraft launched from said carriers.
General MacAthurs island hoping strategy was to basically take small islands all across the Pacific Ocean until they got to Japan. To clear the way of enemies and make essential ports and airbases for an invasion of Japan that never happened. These islands include but are not limited to Iwo Jima, Okinawa, etc.
Admiral Yamamoto made an extremely risky move in attacking Pearl Harbor as the goal was to destroy the entire US fleet in that region. They only completed one objective of these ends and thats destroying most of the Battleships. All carriers the US had were not damaged though. Because of this Japan lost the war and costed their people dearly by losing millions of innocent lives through the US fire bombing and nuclear bombs.
Japan simply could not hope to convince others they were there for the people and so the people resisted.
The biggest problem any empire faces in trying to rule over others is the fact that people will resist their form of rule.
