Answer 1

At the beginning of the 20th century, Japanese politics were highly militaristic and imperialistic. Japan was ruled by an autocratic monarchy. The common people had no rights and were expected to blindly obey the commands of the government. The government sought to expand the Japanese empire by building up a strong military. The Japanese people were subjected to propaganda on the virtues of the military and empire.
