Japan occupied the two westernmost of the Aleutians, Kiska and Attu, as a feint to draw the US north at the Battle of Midway. It did not work because the US had already broken the Japanese code.

Which present US state did the Japanese occupy during World War 2?
I believe the state in question is Alaska. I remember hearing a very recent report on the History Channel program which gave some information that a small force of Japanese had invaded Alaska with the possibility of invading the United States from that remote location. I also remember hearing from a relative that the Japanese also "invaded" Washington state. I don't have any corroborating evidence to the above, but I'm sure you could research the library for actual facts.
