"..On 15 March 1942, Imperial General Headquarters authorised a major
strategic initiative in the South Pacific called Operation FS (also
sometimes called FS Operation). The purpose of this operation was to
sever communications between the United States and Australia by
extending Japan's southern defensive perimeter to Port Moresby in the
Australian Territory of Papua, and then across the Pacific Ocean to
Fiji and the Samoan Islands. Port Moresby, Fiji, and the islands
between them (the British Solomon Islands, the New Hebrides, and New
Caledonia), would be heavily fortified by Japan and equipped with
forward air and naval bases..."

Has anyone ever invaded American territory across the Bering Strait?
No. Why? It would be logistically impossible. To reach the Strait, an
army would have to cross hundreds of miles of wilderness (impassable
in winter), without any adequate roads, let alone a railway. Across
the Strait, the terrain in Alaska would be almost as difficult. There
is only one major highway that leads, not to America, but Canada. The
only way it might be done would be to establish a string of naval
bases towards the West coast, which would require a mind boggling
number of troops, ships, and aircraft to establish just the invasion
route...

So what?
Actually, the nearest that the Japanese got to America was the
Aleutian Islands, but perhaps you've never heard of them. It was
possible to maintain a small garrison at that distance, but no
more.....the line of communication was too long and stretched. The
Americans could operate from Alaska, and soon threw them out.
