1932
When militarists came to power in Japan during the 1930s, they shifted the government towards a more aggressive imperialist foreign policy, emphasizing expansion in Asia. They increased military spending and prioritized the military's influence over civilian governance, leading to a suppression of political dissent and civil liberties. The militarists also promoted nationalism and militarism in education and propaganda, instilling a sense of duty and loyalty to the state among the populace. This shift ultimately laid the groundwork for Japan's involvement in World War II.
He was given the "figure head" look during the war, (but the militarists made the desions). The militarists made the emperor the "symbol of state" which in turn gave more power to them, (with the popularity of Hirohito and him being "Leader" it was easy to do what they wanted, they meaning the militarists). So after the war was over shame was drawn to him and "quit" the job.

1932
A description that does not match Japan's militarists would be characterizing them as advocates for peace and diplomacy. Japan's militarists, particularly during the early 20th century, were known for their aggressive expansionist policies, prioritizing military strength and imperialism over peaceful negotiations. They sought to expand Japan's territory and influence through war and conflict, rather than fostering harmonious international relations.

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.
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.
There are not many advantages of a military government over a civilian government. One thing that may be considered an advantage is that a military government is always ready to defend its country.
hell no
There was widespread resentment over government controls.
In the years leading up to and during World War II, the military and civilian leaderships of Japan were often in conflict over the nation's direction and strategy. The military, advocating for aggressive expansion in Asia, sought to secure resources and territory, while the civilian government was more cautious, concerned about international relations and the potential repercussions of war. This power struggle reflected broader tensions between militarism and diplomacy, ultimately leading to Japan's full-scale involvement in the war. The military's dominance in decision-making increasingly marginalized civilian oversight, contributing to the escalation of conflict.
