How did Japan step by step onto the fascist road?

Japan, a small country, looks like a bug on the map, and is closely watched by China, the rooster. But history is just the opposite. The Japanese bug bit the rooster so hard that it almost turned the food chain upside down, which made China learn a lesson from this painful experience. So, what kind of driving force makes this bug have the power to resist the rooster?

We should start from Toyotomi Hideyoshi as soon as possible. Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a Japanese historical hero. He not only ended the Warring States period in Japan, but also invaded Korea, which was defeated by Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi left the ideal of conquering Korea first and then Daming. The reason why he didn't fight for world hegemony was because of the limitation of the map at that time. He only knows that there are North Korea and China, and he doesn't know that there are Chinese mainland in other places. If he knows, it is estimated that he will eventually add another conquering the world.

However, after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's failure, his ideals and beliefs were passed down from generation to generation, which together with the Japanese Bushido spirit contributed to the Meiji Restoration. This is an era when bugs can see real sunlight. The Japanese quickly introduced western technology, developed all kinds of technologies in an all-round way, and had a strong national strength.

The powerful Japanese are embarrassed to find that with their own land, the economy will stagnate after reaching a certain level. Once the economy stagnates, Japan's national strength will gradually decline. What should we do?

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's thought once flowed in the blood of the Japanese, and the expansion of national strength made their bushido spirit prevail unprecedentedly, and the slogan of military conquest became louder and louder. The backwardness of the Eastern Korean Empire and the Qing Empire made them feel invincible, which was true in the early stage.

The benefits gained in the early stage made them taste the sweetness. People and countries are the same. Once they get more, they want more. The madness of the Axis countries Italy and Germany made them seem to meet a bosom friend. Thus, the second world war began and the fascist alliance was formed. Since then, Japan has fallen into a state of perdition.

Japan can take the road of fascism. Small country, few people and lack of materials and minerals are all important and fundamental reasons. As soon as the United States cut off their oil supply, they immediately became hysterical for no other reason, because they knew the importance of resources.
