3 things that stood out
1) Japan was the most isolated out of the rest of Asia
2) Because of the isolation, Japan though they were the most civilized
3)After signing, they went to war and began attacking

1) Part of the reason why Germany attacked was to gain more land.
2) The reason why Japan attacked was because they got accused.

3 :  -  Japan left the league of nations after waging a war on China

The Japanese were frustrated after the battle of Nanking, and as a result brutality attacked, and killed civilians

The pact between the USSR and Germany meant that if one country had entered a war the other could remain neutral (German-Pact)

2: - The Germans set up a huge attack in Poland beginning WWII (September 1, 1939)

-  The Japanese on the other hand wanted more resources and land to support their growing society

1: By gaining lots of more land, and living space it would allow for the Germans to farm, or build German industry. Which Hitler could possibly use to end the German Depression from the outcomes of WW I.

Three  parts that stuck out to me when the Kuomintang and the CCP joined forces to abolish Japanese forces in Manchuria, and how the Meiji restoration influenced Nationalism in Japan despite of being inspired of Western ideas and technology. Lastly,  after the pact was signed between the Russians and Germans, Germans immediately went to war nine days after as they began attacks on Poland.

Both motivations carried by the were very similar to each other. The motivation behind the Germany attacks was to generate more land which results into more German industry resolving the depression from the war and humiliation he faced in world war 1. The Japanese were quite similar to the Germans as they tried to expand by trying to get a hold of Manchuria due to its bountiful resources and massive land.

3 things
a) Because Japan was so isolated for a long period of time in history, they viewed their society as the most civilized and became extremely xenophobic
b) The massacre of Nanking was possibly the most defining factor of the second Sino-Japanese War (casualties estimated to be up to 300,000)
c) The non-aggression pact formed between Germany and the USSR was shocking because the USSR had clearly denounced the actions of Hitler, fascism, capitalism, etc.
2 reasons
a) Japan attacked China because they needed more resources, and were spurred on because China had been sworn to not resist. Therefore, they were angered at the civilian's resistance at Nanking and so massacred everyone.
b) German forces started WW2 by attacking Poland. If they gained more living space, then the extra areas to farm, produce materials, etc. would benefit Germany because Hitler would end the German depression.

3 Interesting Things:
- Japan started the war before Hitler formed Nazi Germany.
- Japan left the League of Nations when they declared their invasion of China as unjust.
- When China lost against Japan, they were cruel and took out their frustrations on civilians.
2 Reasons:
- Japan attacked because they needed more resources and land to support their growing population, so they attempted to take over the coasts of East Asia.
- Germany attacked Poland because they wanted to regain lost territory and rule over their eastern neighbor, as well as to redeem themselves from their major loss in WWI. Hitler ended up using the "Blitzkrieg" strategy in his later battles.
1 Comment:
I commented on Mario's post, adding on to his statement about Germany's invasion of Poland, and elaborated. I said, they not only attacked to regain the land they lost, but they also wanted redemption from their loss in WWI.

3 parts that stuck out:
1) Japan was isolated from much of the world and developed a xenophobic attitude in which they thought their society was the most sophisticated.
2) Although Japan's attack on China was found to be unjustified by the League of Nations, but Japan ignored this and simply left the League of Nations.
3) Poland was not able to resist German attack because they were newly established, and their war technology was not as advanced as Germany's.

2 reasons why Japan or Germany attacked:
1) The main reason why Japan attacked China (Manchuria) was because of they needed territory and resources for their increasingly large population and military.
2) Germany attacked Poland using a strategy called Blitzkrieg, or lightning war, which was supposed to limit deaths and the need for resources in comparison to WWI so that Germany could shake off the humiliation from their defeat in WWI.

-The Japanese army was able to take over a section fo Chinese land along the coast, however this piece of land was deemed unfit for the Japanese by the league of nations so Japan left the league and kept the land.
-When the Japanese had an unannounced military practice near the Marco polo bridge in china which startled the Chinese, so they took one of the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese attacked the Chinese for denying they had one of their men resulting in mass death for both sides.
-Germany was able to gain peace with Russia, so they would later have more power in war, with there troops always being good.
2.
-Japan attacked the Chinese cities because they were missing one of their men after the military exercise. Earlier they attacked to expand the territory they they were able to defend because Japan itself was not a big island.

3 -Japan and china were at war, but tried to make amends and keep somewhat of a peace agreement
-This went out the window over a misunderstanding, because while japan was doing training, china thought of it as a threat.
-The russians agreed to peace with the germans, so they would have an upper hand later in the war, so troops were always good.

2 -Japan attacked china for the reason that they needed more land to be stabilized on. In other words, Japan was not big enough so that a war could be fought, so they expanded, and established themselves well on the mainland, so that their homeland would not be a sore target.
-Germany attacked Poland for the same reason being they needed to expand their territory, and conquering what was closest was the best way to make a sort of padding, so that there could be no head on attacks at the heart of Germany. There was no way they could be in a pinch.

3 - Japan was the true first country to start Word War II and not Nazi Germany under the leadership of Hitler. The USSR and Germany had an agreement before the war which sorted made them allies when  invading Poland. How quickly Great Britain and France were to declare war on Hitler and the Nazi army because of the invasion of Poland.
2 - Japan attacked communist China because they felt more superior to any other race because they were isolated for so long. Hitler did not just invade Poland out of hate but to better his people with more land and reclaim the pride lost from the first World War.

3. When the league of nations declared Japans invasion of China unjust all they did was leave the league.
-The Japanese were upset that they China was actually fighting back and it wasn't going to be an easy victory. This led them to become angry and kill and rape between 50,000-300,000 Chinese citizens
-Even though their economic ideologies were completely different, the USSR and Germany signed a pack before WW2 so they would have more power in the war
2. Japan attacked largely due to Nationalism. Ideologies sparked around the nation on how the Japanese were the superior race and this led them to want more land and colonize China. They also needed more resources and supplies, which China's land could supply.
-Germany started a war after they attacked Poland because they needed to get out of a depression and they also needed resources for farming. By invading Poland they would be able to grow again after their humiliation in WW1. This caused France and Briatin to step in.

3-  China had sought for a non-aggression pact with the Japanese, however Japan continued to conquer land from China. China had appealed to the League of Nations due to Japan's exploration of land and, in the end left the League of Nations. In 1939, Germany and the USSR signed a non-aggression pact.
2- Japan's reason for attack was the need for resources due to their large population and their scarcity of resources, whereas Germany started attacking to start conquering more land from Poland to take control over it.
