During the First World War, Japan had joined the Allied powers, however only playing a minor role (fighting off German forces in East Asia). In 1919 at the Paris Peace Conference, Japan's proposal of fixing the 'racial equality clause' to the covenant of the League of Nations was rejected by the U.S, Britain and Australia. And s ince the forced opening of the country in the 1800's, arrogance and racial discrimination had already plagued the Japanese-Western bonds, and thus furthermore deteriorated relations to other countries.

During the 1930's, the military emerged after the Showa Depression and nearly established complete control over the government. Even those who normally disliked militarism were disappointed with the performance of the government parties and became more favoured and sympathetic to the military and nationalists. Political competition were assassinated and communists were persecuted. Censorship and indoctrination over the media and in education was then further intensified. The Navy and officers quickly took position over positions in many important offices - one being that of the prime minister.
