7. Growing Military Power Democracy in Crisis After World War I, Japan had established a parliamentary government and granted many citizens the right to vote. When economic conditions worsened during the 1930s, many Japanese became dissatisfied with multiparty democratic government. Rise of Nationalism Several radical groups formed in response to the government’s perceived weaknesses. Radicals demanded an end to Western-style institutions and a return to traditional ways. These radicals assassinated several business and political leaders, hoping to force the military to take over the government.
8. WRITE THIS DOWN! The Manchurian Incident By 1930, Japan lacked the land and raw materials to care for its growing population. Many Japanese saw the acquisition of neighboring Manchuria as a solution to these problems. In September 1931, a Japanese army stationed in Manchuria captured several cities. Manchuria is an area north of China. By February 1932, the Japanese army had seized all of Manchuria. This seizure came to be known as the Manchurian Incident. Japan set up Manchuria as a puppet state, or a supposedly independent country under the control of a powerful neighbor. After the Manchurian Incident, the military took a much stronger hand in governing Japan, especially in the area of foreign policy.
9. WRITE THIS DOWN! Looking Beyond China GEA Co-Prosperity Sphere In 1940, Japan announced a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, to be led by the Japanese, extending from Manchuria to the Dutch East Indies. Japan declared that this move would liberate Asia from European colonization. However, the real reason was Japan’s additional need for natural resources. Alliances and Further Expansion In September 1940, Japan allied itself with Germany and Italy through the Tripartite Pact. Japan began to expand into French Indonesia and the oil-rich Dutch East Indies. In April 1941, Japan signed a neutrality pact with the Soviet Union.
10. WRITE THIS DOWN! War Against China In July 1937, Japan resumed its invasion of China. Although China had more manpower than Japan, Japan’s superior weapons allowed it to win control of major Chinese cities. The United States and other nations condemned Japan’s actions. The United States remained neutral, but the Soviet Union sent war equipment and military advisors to China. Later, Britain sent supplies to the Chinese over the Burma Road, a highway linking Burma to China. Battling political groups in China put aside their differences to fight the Japanese. While Japanese troops controlled the cities, Chinese guerrillas dominated the countryside. The war had reached a stalemate by 1939.
