In the 1930s, militarists and ultranationalists increased their power through a combination of aggressive propaganda, economic instability, and political maneuvering. They capitalized on national grievances stemming from the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression, promoting a narrative of national revival through militarization and expansion. This led to the militarization of society, the suppression of dissent, and the establishment of authoritarian regimes in countries like Japan and Germany, where militarists and nationalists gained significant influence over government policies and popular support.
In the 1920s, Japanese militarists aimed to expand Japan's influence and territory in Asia, seeking to establish dominance over neighboring regions, particularly China and Korea. They sought to secure resources and markets to support Japan's growing industrial economy. Additionally, militarists aimed to strengthen national pride and unify the country under militaristic and imperialist ideologies, often at the expense of diplomatic relations with Western powers. This aggressive expansionism ultimately contributed to Japan's militarization and the onset of conflicts in the following decades.
