Japan decided to conquer other nations in Asia and Pacific for its natural resources

Explanation:

Japan tried to seize other nations in order to use its natural resources to improve the Japanese administration and soldiery. Areas such as Manchuria were abundant in oil and metal deposits, which the island of Japan was severely lacking.

The antagonistic nature of the government also led to a rise in patriotism and the belief that Japan should be the legal owners of foreign colonies within Asia which also improved their desire for seizing other countries.
