A short HIstory Lesson
Why didn't Hitler invade Sweden or Switzerland?
Again, I find myself amazed at the inability of some YouTube uploaders to have a basic knowledge of WW2, or geography.
The previous question asked is why didn't Hitler invade Sweden or Switzerland? That question is answered on my post of that title.
This question is more inane, why didn't Japan occupy Australia?
First of, Japan didn't want to declare war on Great Britain, then you have the issue of Australia itself, most of the country is barren, with hundreds of miles between cities. You make take land on the north coast, but most cities are thousands of miles away on the southern coast, you could not supply, or defend them.
This brings you to the next point, it is one thing to occupy a few islands, it would take battalions to hold any land in the country. Finally, you get to the thing which brings down any Empire, your supply likes, for Japan to land in Australia they would require an extensive infrastructure of connections, all easy to disrupt, as Russia are finding in Ukraine.
