One of japans natural barriers is that japan is very mountainous. This could also be good for japan in case of a foreign invasion.

The genesis of WWII probably should be placed as 18 September 1931 in Shenyang, China with the "Mukden or Manchurian" incident created by a small group of Japanese which by blaming the Chinese led to the forced occupation of Manchuria. The League of Nations was unable to control, settle or reverse the situation and sanctions and boycotts failed to bring the Oriental World into a sensible calm. On 3 October 1935 and a half a world away, Italy began its invasion of Ethiopia in an attempt to control North Africa and the Mediteranian. Again the League of Nations was unable to bring about a settlement. Unlike WWI with an incident in Bosnia that brought about a major conflict, this war became a combination of multiple wars in different locations. Germany's invasion of Poland and Japans's attack on Pearl Harbor only brought about a congealing effect.
