None of these countries had any need at all to acquire more land. Having lots of territory was a status symbol and an irrational obsession, especially popular in the period from about 1880-1945. There was a narcissistic sense of unlimited 'entitlement'. In 1913 Germany itself (without colonies) was about 57% bigger than now and had about 65 million inhabitants. Now is has just over 82 million and is vastly more prosperous ... All that talk about the need for boundless expansion for 'living space' was nonsense. Joncey

Why did Japan invade China which resulted in Pearl Harbor. Why weren't the Japanese happy with the Treaty of Versailles?

WWII By David Li After WWII, Germany lost many territories because Germany did not win the war. Germany paid 32 billion for reparation to other countries, that made Germany's economic unstable. German's president also promised other countries that Germany would not gain land anymore. Adolph Hitler became the president of Germany after the old German president died. He did not like the way that Germany's economic grow. Therefore, he blamed Jews for Germany's economic problems. He put all the Jews in the prison because he promise the German people that he would make Germany's economic better. Hitler wanted more power in the world, therefore he broke the old German president's promise for not to gain land anymore. Hitler build up its military for gain more power. At that time, Italy and Japan all wanted more power. Therefore Italy, Japan and Germany made an alliance. Germany invaded Poland. Italy invaded Ethiopia. Japan invaded China. Britain and France declared war on Germany because they promised Poland that they would help Poland if it were attacked. The U.S. made an isolationism policy at that time because the U.S. wanted to stay out of the war in Europe. At that time, the U.S. had many trades with other countries like Japan and Italy. The U.S. stopped the trade of selling weapons to Italy after Italy invaded Ethiopia. The U.S. also stopped the trade of selling materials and oil to Japan after Japan invaded China. The U.S. sold weapons to Britain and France to help them fight with Germany. On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because of the U.S. stopped selling war materials and oil to Japan. There were more than 2300 Americans died. The U.S. Declared war on Japan. Then Germany and Italy declared war on the U.S.. The U.S. made an alliance with Britain, France and Russia. They all fight against Germany and Italy and won the war. Then U.S. attacked Japan. The U.S. scientists used 4 years to work secretly to Construct an atomic bomb. The U.S. dropped two separate atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There were over 170,000 Japanese people died. The Japanese surrendered on August 14, 1945. WWII was over in 1945. WWII killed 300,000 Americans and over 50 million people worldwide. It was a really sad time. Everyone wants peace not war.

After ww1 japan an Italy both expected what?

More land.


After World War 1 three country Germany Italy and japan where hopping mad why?

Well obviously enough, Germany lost WW1, and was blamed for starting it. They had to pay 30 billion $ to help the Triple Entente(Britain, US, France), they also had to weaken their territory and military. They were punished by the "Treaty of Versailles." Italy DID NOT get any land or benefit from the Treaty of Versailles...and that is one of the common reasons people believe why Germany and Italy were mad after WW1. I am not sure about Japan..but I know more that Japan was more involved in WW2 than WW1.
