Confidence votes 15. Japan invaded Singapore because it was a strategic point in South East Asia. It was a hub for the distribution of oil throughout Asia, and it was a base that they could form for an attack on Indonesia, the East Indies, which was one of the major producers of oil during those times.t was a hub for the distribution of oil throughout Asia, and it was a base that they could form for an attack on Indonesia, the East Indies, which was one of the major producers of oil during those times.
The short version: Japan's actions from 1852 to 1945 were motivated by a deep desire to avoid the fate of 19 th-century China and to become a great power. For Japan, World War II grew from a conflict historians call the Second Sino-Japanese War. The Second Sino-Japanese War began in earnest in 1937 with a battle called the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. However, before this, there had been years of border clashes between the Japanese and the Chinese, having started with the 1931 Japanese invasion of Manchuria. So, to explain Japan's behavior in the years from 1941 to 1945, we have to explain why Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931, and in order to do this, we have to go back to 1853. Before 1852, Japan was isolationist.
