The Rise of Fascist Japan: The Nanking Invasion and Its Historical Impact

This overview highlights the rise of fascism in Japan, particularly under Hideki Tojo, who led militarists to power in 1932 amid the Great Depression. It delves into the concepts of militarism and aggressive imperialism that propelled Japan to invade China, culminating in the brutal attack on Nanking in 1937. The invasion resulted in severe atrocities and is a significant event in understanding Japan's imperial ambitions and historical context. Students should prepare for a test on these critical developments in Japanese history.
