During WWII, U.S. military officials anticipated Japanese attacks in the South Pacific and the Philippines due to Japan's need for natural resources. However, the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and other Pacific locations led to a shift in U.S. military focus and strategy in the war.
During World War II, U.S. military officials predicted that the Japanese would target their attacks in the South Pacific due to Japan's need for natural resources found there and in the Philippines, a U.S. colony. Despite the U.S. imposing sanctions and an oil and gas embargo on Japan, Japanese leaders viewed the U.S. as a 'soft enemy' and decided on a course of surprise attack actions. They specifically focused on a significant assault at the naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
U.S. intelligence broke several Japanese codes and by late November 1941, they were issuing warnings that war with Japan was imminent, with the Philippines projected to be the probable target. However, the full scope of Japan's Pacific offensive was a surprise, with concurrent attacks on Guam, the Philippine Islands, Wake Island, and Midway Island.
This unexpected broad-scale offensive led to a shift in U.S. military focus in the war. Desperate to curb the Japanese advance, U.S. forces quickly diverted resources to the Pacific theater, employing an island hopping strategy to steadily move closer to Japan and reclaim territories.
