From 1918 to 1941, Japan underwent a transformation fueled by its ambition to dominate Asia. Under Emperor Hirohito, viewed as weak yet venerated, and the totalitarian leadership of General Hideki Tojo, Japan pursued aggressive policies aimed at expansion. The nation industrialized rapidly, seeking raw materials, particularly oil, essential for its military ambitions. Key invasions, including Korea and parts of China, marked this era. Hostility grew, culminating in U.S. sanctions that crippled Japan's oil supply, marking a significant turning point in the Pacific landscape.
