Jesus, what do they teach you in schools?
Australia is 80% of the size of north america, how exactly do you think the japanese were going to take and hold it?
They bombed ONE australian city, darwin, the port of darwin specifically, because the us were using it as a staging area.
And we would have held them off alone except most of our troops were fighting in europe while you americans war profiteered for the first THREE YEARS of the conflict.
10 seconds on google.
In early 1942, elements of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) proposed an invasion of mainland Australia.
This proposal was opposed by the Imperial Japanese Army and Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, who regarded it as being unfeasible, given Australia's geography and the strength of the Allied defences.Japanese plans
Japan's plans for invading Australia included denying Australia as a base for Britain or America, and cutting Australia off from America. However, the Japanese Army felt they didn't have the strength to invade, and the Army won this argument.
As i said, they only gave a shit about us because we were backing the us and uk.
