Why did Tojo get involved in the war?

Answer 1

Hideki Tojo, the Prime Minister of Japan during much of World War II, got involved in the war primarily due to Japan's ambitions for territorial expansion and resource acquisition in Asia. He believed that war was necessary to secure Japan's interests, particularly in China and Southeast Asia, against Western powers. Tojo also sought to strengthen Japan's position as a dominant force in the region, which he thought would ensure national security and economic stability. His militaristic approach and alliance with Axis powers further led to Japan's involvement in the broader conflict of World War II.
