 * [|Japanese Militarism]**

Before the Great Depression Japan had an amazing economy and a rise in democracy. But when the economy fell, people turned to Militarism. Unlike Germany and Italy, Japan did not have one major leader of the country. Many Political figures were assassinated or kicked out of office and replaced by Navy and Army officers. Japan was quickly becoming a totalitarian state. Many drastic measures were taken to make sure the country was on the right track. Critics were being arrested, the government was imposing censorship and a secret police force was created to seek out and arrest or kill any enemy or the state.
