Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931 primarily due to its desire for Natural Resources and territory to support its growing industrial economy. The invasion was also influenced by the Japanese military's belief in the need for expansion to secure national interests. The pretext for the invasion was the Mukden Incident, where Japanese forces fabricated an attack on a railway to justify their military actions in the region. This aggressive expansionism marked a significant step in Japan's militaristic policies leading up to World War II.
