In 1931 Japan conquered Manchuria, which until then had been part
of China. In 1937 Japan began a long and ultimately unsuccessful
campaign to conquer the rest of China. In 1940, the Japanese government
allied their country with Nazi Germany in the Axis Alliance, and,
in the following year, occupied all of Indochina.
