The expansionist policy of Japan since 1931 was primarily driven by a combination of economic necessity, military ambition, and nationalist ideology. Japan, having undergone rapid modernization and industrialization since the Meiji Restoration of 1868, faced limitations in natural resources, especially in oil, coal, iron, and other raw materials necessary to sustain its growing industrial base and military ambitions. The domestic economic pressures, coupled with the global impact of the Great Depression, intensified the desire for territorial expansion as a means to secure resources and markets for Japanese goods. The invasion of Manchuria in 1931 marked the beginning of Japan's aggressive imperialist phase, which would eventually culminate in full-scale conflict in East Asia and the Pacific. The Manchurian Crisis was initiated under the pretext of the Mukden Incident, where Japanese military forces staged an explosion on a railway owned by Japan's South Manchuria Railway and blamed Chinese forces.
