Hideki Tojo, the Prime Minister of Japan during much of World War II, was not widely recognized with formal awards in the same way as military personnel or civilians. However, he was honored within Japan's military hierarchy and received various promotions and commendations during his career. After Japan's defeat in World War II, Tojo was tried for war crimes and executed in 1948, and thus any awards he might have received during his lifetime were overshadowed by his post-war legacy.
He was self obsessed, and reacted strongly and viciously against anyone who stood in his way or did not agree with him or opposed him.

The Japanese were led by General Hideki Tojo who had been the Prime Minister of the Japanese government. He was an imperialist with designs on expanding the Japanese empire. The United States sought to stop the expansion of their empire and, along with Britain, stood in the way of the Japanese advance in the Pacific. With the approval of the Chief of the Imperial Naval General Staff Admiral Nagano Osami, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, then Commander in Chief of the Combined Fleet, was tasked with formulating a plan of action against the Americans. By attacking the US Navy at Pearl Harbor it was hoped that the resistance of the Americans would be neutralized to prevent the US from contesting the expansion of Japanese empire. Without the fleet, the US would be unable to resist their military forces. However, they did not expect the US fleet to be repaired and made seaworthy as soon as it was. They thought it would be years at the earliest that America could replace the sunken vessels. They did not count on the US manufacturing capacities and the will of the American people to rise up and combat them. Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo was selected to lead the actual attack on Pearl Harbor.
I presume Hideki is referred to Hideki Tojo, Japanese Prime Minister between October, 1941 and July, 1944. Hideki Tojo was a fervent nationalist: he belonged to the military faction Toseiha (Control Faction), a group opposed to the Kodoha (Imperial Way Faction). The Toseiha (including Tojo) defended a coordinated action between the military, the civilian politicians and the zaibatsu, under the supreme authority of the Emperor. The Kodoha was a revolutionary faction which proposed a so called "Showa Restoration" to build a military and anticapitalist regime (these two factions had only in common nationalist and expansionist ideas). The Kodoha attempted a coup in February, 1936, and Tojo took part in crushing it. Tojo was known as an efficient bureaucrat and as a deep devotee to the Imperial Institution. He fanatically revered the Emperor. Tojo worshiped Emperor Hirohito and sought to protect him all his life. His last service to his Emperor was to take all the blame for the war in the processes for war crimes. Hirohito heaped praise on Tojo even in his "Monologue" of March, 1946, for serving him loyally. Two very useful books with information on Tojo and his fanatical devotion to the Emperor are "Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan", by Herbert P. Bix and "Hirohito and War: Imperial Tradition and Military Decision Making in Prewar Japan", by Peter Wetzler.

The Austrian Empire and the Catholic Church were two powerful forces that stood in the way of Italian unity. The Austrian Empire controlled significant territories in Italy and resisted the Italian unification movement. The Catholic Church, with its strong influence over the Papal States, also opposed the idea of a unified Italy.
