Manchuria was economically and strategically important to Japan because of its good source of raw materials and resources which the Japanese needed for their growing industries as well as a market to sell their products. Controlling Manchuria would also allow Japan to control Korea as well as a future expansion into China because of Manchuria's geographical location. When the invasion of Manchuria happened, the League responded by writing a report, known as the Lytton report, which found that the Japanese army's was more than just self defence as they claimed it to be. However, they were unable to enforce its decision to condemn Japan as an aggressor because the Japanese left the League of Nations. Even during the Second Sino-Japanese War, when China appealed to the League of Nations to be intervene and help them, the League was unwilling to get involved in the tensions between Japan and China as they were occupied with European developments as well as Hitler's expansionist policy. The Japanese would have been able to get their way even without getting involved in the war as the League of Nations would not have been able to do anything of use to help the situation. The weakness of the League of Nations was severe and they were not able to function properly as a peacekeeping organisation due to it, which made it easier for Japan to get their way. Even without involving themselves in the war, the League of Nations would have still been weak and help the Japanese gain victory for their goals in some way.

It could remain dependent on trade with other countries for crucial resources, but it distrusted Western countries. Or it could behave like Western imperialists to acquire its resources. Japan chose the latter option and began to expand after 1905. Prior to the Great Depression in 1929, Japan had already suffered a slowing economy and relied on strong markets for export to rebuild its economy. In 1931, the military seized Manchuria, which provided coal and iron needed for Japan’s growing military. Manchuria also provided space to house the expanding Japanese population. Expansion into China was next. By 1937, Japan and China were at war, which drained Japan’s resources. When the Japanese moved into Indochina in 1941, the United States responded by embargoing exports of scrap steel and oil to Japan. Although the most important reason for Japanese expansion was the country’s need for goods and resources, there were other reasons for Japanese expansion after the Russo-Japanese War. One was Western racism against the Japanese and the rise of Japanese nationalism. The United States passed the Japanese Exclusion Act in 1924, which limited Japanese immigration to America. Thus, the reason for Japan's expansionist foreign policy.]]> 2023-01-02 14:39:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hadi_qusyairi_zaharin1/dwb8kcph31540n5v/wish/2431662847 hadi_qusyairi_zaharin1 https://padlet.com/hadi_qusyairi_zaharin1/dwb8kcph31540n5v/wish/2431662914 2023-01-02 14:39:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hadi_qusyairi_zaharin1/dwb8kcph31540n5v/wish/2431662914
