Japanese Submarine Attacks US Mainland (1942)
American Theater was a minor area of operations during World War II, mainly due to the continent's geographical separation from the central theaters of conflict in Europe and Asia. During the war, the threat of a mainland invasion of the United States was considered negligible, allowing for American resources to be deployed in overseas theaters.
This article includes attacks on continental territory, extending 200 miles (320 km) into the ocean, which is today under the sovereignty of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and several other smaller states, but excludes military action involving the Danish territory of Greenland, the Hawaiian Islands, and the Aleutian Islands.
