1. Japan created a xenophobic culture after the Meiji Restoration in which it focused heavily on strong military and religious traditions.

2. Conquered Korea because of ultra nationalism, centralized states, and European technology in the First Sino Japanese War.

3. By February 1932 Japan had control of all of Manchuria, but Japan wanted to expand even more, which led to the stop of a Communist domestic war in order to defend themselves.

1. One of the reasons that the second Sino Japanese War began was because of Japanese expansion, in which they wanted to take over Chinese mainland because of a highly condensed population.

2. Also the “Mukden Incident” in which one of the Japanese’s soldiers were lost in a small misunderstanding led to all out fighting at the Chinese border and the conquering of Shanghai.

2) Germany launched a huge attack on Poland and airplanes bombed cities.
