(First of all, sorry if you mods have to remove this, I know this sub is kinda really strict. Anyways)

I mean, they knew there was basically a 1% chance of winning to the US, and they already had a shit load of land. Why did they not stop invading when they had so much land, and take a huge gamble with US? I heard it was because they needed oil transported from the south and the Philippines would disrupt that with air strikes as they were US territory, and US stopped shipping oil, so they attacked Hawaii in hopes of slowing down America as they invaded US south east Asian territory. Imo I would of just stopped invading for a little and rebuild and solidify defenses, maybe given a few of the islands to America for oil trading rights again.
