ELI5: What were Japan's motives in WW2

What were Japan's ultimate goals had they won WW2?
gpt
Japan wanted to conquer massive areas in Asia and create a Japanese empire. This was partially due to Japan's need of resources as it lacks them in mainland Japan (due to their geography). The other reason is Japanese imperialism as they always wanted to create a massive Japanese empire. Mind you that this is a very basic explanation for a topic that comes from the history of Japan and its conflicts.
