It depends on how far back you want to go. Japan was actually opposed to Germany and Austria-Hungary in World War I, seizing German colonial islands in the Pacific. Japan had previously annexed Korea in 1910.

In the 1930's Japan began an aggressive expansion into mainland Asia, annexing Manchuria in 1931 and occupying large areas of China in the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). During early World War II, losses to the Soviets led to a neutrality treaty that lasted until the closing days of the war against the US (from December 8, 1941 to September 2, 1945).
