Japan invades China in 1937, marching into French Indochina by 1940. In Europe, Adolf Hitler’s armies now occupy much of central Europe, including France. The world is at war.” http://www-tc.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/pacific/maps/images/maps_01_03.jpg

By 1942, at the height of its wartime success, Japan will have massed over five million troops, expanding its empire to include the Philippines and much of the Southwest Pacific.” http://www-tc.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/pacific/maps/images/maps_01_04.jpg
