Japanese invasion
Manchuria, then beyond
Japanese invasion refers to military incursions by Japan into other territories, most commonly the expansionist campaigns of the 1930s and 1940s across East Asia and the Pacific.
The phrase appears in historical discussions of World War II: the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, the Japanese invasion of the Philippines.
It may also describe earlier conflicts or, in speculative contexts, fictional scenarios.
