In 1942, Australia braced for invasion after Japan captured Singapore, swept through Southeast Asia, and even bombed Darwin. But did Tokyo ever actually plan to invade? The truth: not really. Logistics, overstretched forces, and bitter rivalry between the Japanese Army and Navy made a full-scale invasion impossible. Instead, Japan aimed to isolate Australia by targeting supply lines and seizing islands to the north. That plan collapsed after the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway changed the course of the Pacific War.
