Answer:

Japan was successful in "expanding its territory" due to the following reasons:

1. Japan did not have to fight the "majority of US forces".

2. It had a big military force but the force and equipment used was poorly trained.

3. Negotiated agreements which gave it impact over neighbouring countries.

4. In the "United States", it enjoyed popular support.

5. Because of "civil wars" (China), "independence movements" (India), "Great Depression" (Western Europe) or "under assault from Germany" (France & Netherlands), the main powers in Asia were weakened simultaneously.
