These systems aimed to optimize efficiency and support the war effort while maintaining public morale and managing the economy under wartime conditions.

Systems directed by government agencies to mobilize resources for war efforts are typically referred to as wartime mobilization programs. These programs involve the coordinated effort of various government sectors to allocate resources, including manpower, materials, and finances, to support military operations. They often include measures such as rationing, industrial conversion, and the establishment of agencies to oversee production and logistics, ensuring that the armed forces are adequately supplied for the conflict. Examples include the War Production Board in the United States during World War II.
To help finance World War II, the U.S. government relied heavily on war bonds and increased taxation. War bonds were promoted as a patriotic duty, encouraging citizens to lend money to the government in exchange for future returns. Additionally, the government raised taxes, including higher income tax rates, to generate revenue for military expenditures and wartime production. These measures helped mobilize the economy and support the war effort.

There was hardly any public support for world war 2 just like world war 1
a. The government and trade industries were selling weapons to all belligerents during the war. The president was telling the people to not choose sides and to stay neutral during the war. Also the use of propaganda!
It's debatable whether the Emperor supported it or not, but he did not prevent it. The rest of the Government was effectively controlled by the military, including the position of Prime Minister.
