The Philippines and Burma.

Explanation:

Japanese planes attacked American forces by surprise on December 8, 1941, just one day after Pearl Harbor. A full invasion followed soon and started occupying more territory in the following weeks. After the US and Filipino forces were unable to stop the Japanese advance, General Douglas MacArthur received orders to leave the Philippines and head for Australia.

Burma was another Asian country occupied militarily by the Japanese Imperial Army. The Japanese units invaded Burma from Thailand. Their goals were to cut a lifeblood line supply for China, to take a better position to attack India, and improve their control of raw materials in the area. The Burma campaign went on from 1941 to 1945.
