And, I say don't forget:  India/Burma, Malaysia (one of my favorite
novels of all time is about the events surrounding the fall of
Singapore), Indochina, Indonesia (catalyst for the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor had to do with embargo of Malaysian rubber and Indonesian
oil IIRC), all the Pacific islands of course, the Middle East, etc.

WWII was truly global.
