Economic Depression Hits Japan•Japanese industries had to import nearly all of the resources they needed toproduce goods.
•During the 1920’s Japan did not earn enough money from its exports to pay for its imports, which limited economic growth.
•When the depression struck, other countries raised their tariffs. This made the situation even worse.

Militarists Take Control of Japan•Japanese military leaders argued that seizing territory was the only way Japan could get the resources it needed.
•In 1931, the Japanese army invaded Manchuria, a resource-rich region of northern China.
•When the Japanese prime minister tried to stop the war by negotiating with China, officers assassinated him. From that point forward, the military controlled Japan. Hideki Tojo

In 1937, Japan invaded China. By 1941, much of the Chinese coast is controlled by Japan. Roosevelt responded by sending lend-lease aid to China. By July 1941, Japan has invaded French Indochina, posing a direct threat to the British Empire.
