pact with the Soviet Union in Japan .Then Japanused the guise of establishingPuppet Regimein China , which was beneficial to the United States, and the guise of negotiations with theUnited States, on December 7 1941, attacked Pearl Harbor and got victory, which marks that Japan pursued itsdream to build Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Spherewith military occupation again .
From December 1941 to May 1942, Japan quickly overran Southeast Asia,initially realized the hegemonic purpose of Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.Japanese westward went across Thailand, invaded the British Burma, and went straight for India, southwardto occupied Malaya, Singapore as well as the Dutch East Indies, and defeated US military in the Philippines,controlling the entire Southeast Asia island region and closing to Australia and New Zealand . At that point, the Japanese invading army’s controlling area had reached population of 150 millionandland of 3.86 million square kilometers. If the former occupation of Korea, the occupied zone of China and Indochinaincluded, the total area was over 700 square kilometers of land and over 500 million of population, so Japan had already formed a huge colonial empire north from Aleutian Islands, south to Australia, and west from Burma, Malayaand east to the central Pacific Gilbert Islands , basically formulating the program objectives of Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere.

Japan's efforts to build order in East Asia ended in failure, and left a deep shadow tothe East Asian countries for Japan's militarism.
