It's because he got too caught up in his own nationalistic ideas that Japan was number one during WWII. At the time Tojo didn't look at it as being bad or evil. He thought he was reuniting the continent of Asia into one country whether the countries in Asia disagreed or not and that was his vision and goal. He was a very proud individual who loved his country to the fullest. Not just Tojo but many other Japanese soldiers and patriotic fanatics thought that Japan was invincible because they took over Manchuria. Yet, in reality Japan got beaten down by the Allied forces really bad especially when they dropped the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That's when Tojo lost his perception on the Japanese military strength and Japan surrendered.
