Plausibility of Japan keeping conquered Hawaii and winning Pacific war?

If Japan had conquered Hawaii, would it have been able to win the Pacific War? At what point would the US quit?
 
At no point was Japan capable of conquering Hawaii. Unless they had immortal samurai's with jetpacks.

The US wasn't going to quit, the US was pissed. Japan, simply had no chance of winning the pacific war. It was over the moment the bombs started dropping on US soil.

It would be able to force the US to quit when its armies have taken control of the US and was dictating peace terms in Washington D.C which is never going to happen. so the answer is NEVER!

Didn't Yamamoto actually say something along these lines?

But didn't the Japanese have a plan to invade Hawaii after the attacks on Pearl Harbor? I was thinking that it would be difficult for the US to stage an attack against the Japanese without a base such as Hawaii. If they could hold onto Hawaii long enough, they might get the US to realize that it couldn't succeed in fighting both them and the Nazis in Europe.

The goal of their attacks was a pre-emptive strike against the USA, because they realized that they could not win in China as long as they kept being cut off from American resources and remained effectively embargoed. Besides, by tha point, Japan was at their limit.

No. Not at all.

The Pearl Harbor operation was to bloody the nose of the US, and get them to back down. The Japanese new very well, that if the US decided to fight, Japan would lose. So. They had to get the US out of the fight.

Unfortunately for the Japanese, the attack on Pearl had precisely the opposite effect.

There was NO POINT in trying to take Hawaii, as any war where that was a useful tactic was a war the Japanese would lose. It's that simple.
