Japan did not invade Alaska. During World War II, Japan did bomb and occupy parts of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska in 1942. This was part of a strategy to divert American forces away from the Pacific theater of the war. The occupation was short-lived, and the Japanese were eventually driven out by a combined American-Canadian force.
