    Similar to Great Britain, Japan was in desperate need of resources that they lacked because of their geography. Trade was and still is a huge part of Japan's economy. "Trade was necessary to the functioning of the Japanese economy. When Japan entered the first stage of its modernization in the nineteenth century, it had become dependent on other parts of the world for markets and raw materials... Iron for the steel industry was of particular concern as Japan was almost wholly dependent upon imports... The nearest major sources of iron were in Manchuria and northern China." (William Beasley, Doc. 8) Japan became an imperialist nation because of its lack of natural resources and because China was so close and prosperous they first traded with China and eventually invaded China in hopes to take control of it. In Doc. 9, the map shows the Japanese expansion from 1930 to 1939. During those nine years Japan invaded all of Korea, and a good part of China including one of China's big cities, Manchuria. "The protection of the nation's line of sovereignty and the defense of our line of advantage are essential if we wish to maintain our independence and security.... [W]e must reach as far as possible within the limits of our resources to achieve control of that position. As a result, it is essential that we begin to make significantly larger appropriations for our navy and our armed…

They turned their sights to imperializing into the Pacific and many of the islands and colonies near Japan. Prior to this, Japan had already invaded Manchuria. Their next move was to conquer what was left of the rest of China. Much to their surprise, China put up a pretty strong fight and refused to surrender.…

    The Japanese Government was hell-bent on expanding their empire and desired the strongest fighting force in the world. Japan is not resource dense, so it felt the need to spread its scope to the areas of Asia that are dense (Manchuria). Japan left the League of Nations as they escalated land grabs, displaying their desire for autonomy. Japan felt that they deserved the areas surrounding them, and that they had to defeat those that inhabited those areas. As the Japanese military expanded rapidly so did the nation’s bravado. The Japanese people thought their mainland was impenetrable and that their people were of the highest honor. They had lowered the stature of all non-Japanese so much that rape, murder, and pillaging was practically celebrated.…

    The essay titled “Japan’s Decision to ‘Go South,’” by Sumio Hatano and Sadao Asada outlined the events that ended with Japan and the U.S. in war. They described that “to prepare for hostilities with the Anglo-American powers, Japan would have to march into Indochina to obtain raw materials; the United States would counter by imposing an economic embargo; this in turn would compel Japan to seize the Dutch East Indies to secure essential oil, a step that would lead to hostilities with the United States” (135-136). So, Japan felt threatened by countries like the U.S. and Great Britain for several reasons, the first being that Great Britain was at war with Germany, an ally of Japan, and the U.S. was as involved in the war in Europe as it could possibly be, without having actually declared war on Germany, by providing aid to Great Britain (7). Additionally, the U.S. provided aid to China in order to prevent the Japanese Empire from further taking over China. Because Japan felt this threat from the Anglo-American powers, they found it necessary to march into Indochina to procure the materials they needed to…

    Hundreds of years have marched on in history containing documented bitter relations between Japan and China. Some merely viewed the destruction of Nanking as the latest attempt by Japan to control China, but further analysis exposed significantly deeper intentions. Ultimately, Japan’s attempts at dominance over China for decades resulted from their uncontrollable desire for aggression, expansion, [technological advancement] and imperialism” (Basic Facts on the Nanking Massacre). Japan despised China because the Chinese accepted and embraced their agrarian society, and desired no interaction with other countries. China refused to modernize in the 1800s, exhibited by their refusal to partake in foreign trade and minimal attempts to industrialize, while Japan maintained a completely opposite approach. Japan focused on development of military, weapons, and other technology, the benefits of which were revealed when “Japan…
