Before and during World War II, Japan relied upon other countries for many of its needed raw materials for two connected reasons. First, Japan had concentrated on modernizing its industry and its military for many years, and this concentrated effort required a wide variety of particular raw materials. Second, most of the raw materials required for modernization were simply not present in any Japanese-occupied territories.
