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.
The goal was for Nazi-Germany and Italy to link up with the Japanese armies as they moved across Asia, cutting the allies in two.
The primary goals of the United States in the Battle of Midway were to decisively weaken the Japanese Navy and to protect the strategic Midway Atoll from being captured, which would have allowed Japan to launch further offensives in the Pacific. The U.S. aimed to gain intelligence on Japanese plans and to turn the tide of the war in the Pacific by achieving a significant victory. By targeting four of Japan's aircraft carriers, the U.S. sought to reduce Japan's naval power and establish a more advantageous position for future operations.

Japanese militarists, Adolf Hitler (der Führer), and Benito Mussolini (Il Duce) all shared a belief in authoritarian rule, nationalism, and militarism during the early to mid-20th century. They sought to expand their nations' power and territory through aggressive military campaigns and often employed propaganda to promote their ideologies. Additionally, they implemented repressive regimes that suppressed dissent and promoted a unifying national identity, often at the expense of individual rights and freedoms. Their alliances during World War II further linked their goals and strategies in pursuit of global dominance.

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).
