With the increase of militarism in its leadership and people during the 20th century, Japan's fundamental plan to expand their empire in Asia began with the takeover of vulnerable portions of resource-rich China. At the same time, they would increase their control of other economically important areas of Asia while also building up their military in preparation to defy the United States and other western powers.

Why did Japanese leader view the US as an enemy?

I assume you are referring to WWII here... it is not so much that the Japanese viewed the Americans as an enemy, so much as it was they viewed the US as a threat to their plans to expand their sphere of influence in the Pacific Ocean. Japan is a very small country in terms of land and as such, is one of the largest importers of goods in the world. Japan wanted to expand to the islands in the Pacific to eliminate some of their reliance on imports. At this time, the United States Pacific Fleet was massive, and if it remained in play, would hinder the Japanese in their goal of dominating the Pacific Ocean.


Hideki Tojo?

Chief of staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army and later prime minister who was responsible for the Manchurian invasion and spearheaded the Japanese push to expand throughout the Pacific during WWI
