Question

where did us military officials expect the japanese to attack during world war ii? hawaii asia europe washington, dc

Explanation:

During World War II, US military officials expected Japanese attacks to be focused on areas in Asia, as Japan was expanding its imperial ambitions in Asian territories (like China, Southeast Asia) and had strategic interests there. Hawaii was the site of the surprise Pearl Harbor attack (which was unexpected in terms of the specific location's timing/scale by many, but the broader expectation for Japanese offensive focus was Asia), Europe was more the theater of war with Axis powers like Germany, and Washington, DC was not a expected primary attack target.

Answer:

B. Asia
