Best Answer

Manchuria was an important region for strategical reasons and essential to any long term military plans that the Japanese High Command had to pursue it's goals during war . Manchuria's rich mineral and coal reserves along with its soil was perfect for soy and barley production. Prior to World War II , Manchuria was an essential source of raw materials in iron and other metals . Without occupying Manchuria and exploiting these resources , the Japanese probably could not have carried out their plan for conquest over SouthEast Asia or taken the risk/gamble to attack the US at Pearl Harbor .
